I’m wondering the same thing. I have a ton of it on my property here in MO. Is this Honeysuckle the same as the one in the article?
I read that the red berries from honeysuckle here in MO are poisonous.

I don’t remember the red berries from honeysuckle. Did you mean holly? Anyway, Kittnmom, another poster, said they have a horticulturalist in the family. Let’s see what she has to say.
It’s the same stuff. Lonicera japonica was brought to the US in the 1800s from Japan.
Red berried honeysuckles do have poisonous berries, but they taste so aweful there’s not much chance of being poisoned by them.
Many years ago I learned an important lesson on plant identification that way :)
