Red Currant vs Aronia BerryRibes rubrum Aronia melanocarpa SOLD OUT (we don't know if or when this product will be restocked) SOLD OUT 
Red Currant is a short deciduous shrub native to western Europe. It features five-lobed, maple-like leaves and bright red berries.
Aronia Berry is 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 fruit 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. RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTS
