Common Snowberry vs Aronia BerrySymphoricarpos albus Aronia melanocarpa SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2018) ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Common Snowberry is a small deciduous shrub with characteristic white to pink flowers and clusters of white fruit.
Native to Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States, this branching shrub forms well rooted clumps that can spread. Flowers are usually white (or pink) and they produce black fruits that some people find too astringent, hence they are also known as Black Chokeberry. People who like the taste and not the astringent tannins often blend the berries or juice in with other things. COMMON SNOWBERRY QUICK FACTSARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTS
