Western Chokecherry vs Aronia BerryPrunus virginiana var. demissa Aronia melanocarpa ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT 
Western Chokecherry is a shrub or small tree commonly used for farmstead and field windbreaks.
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 CHOKECHERRY QUICK FACTSARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTS
