Western Sand Cherry vs Aronia BerryPrunus pumila var besseyi Aronia melanocarpa NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON 
Western Sand Cherry is known for its unique, leathery grey-green foliage and beautiful white blossoms. It is a popular ornamental shrub in parks and front yards. Both you and the wildlife will love its edible small dark red to purple cherries.
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. WESTERN SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTSARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTS
