Aronia Berry vs Variegated DogwoodAronia melanocarpa Cornus alba argenteo-marginata SOLD OUT NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON (new stock expected: fall of 2019) 
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.
Variegated Dogwood, also known as Silver Leaf Dogwood, is a small shrub that is often used in the first row of a shelterbelt, as a hedge, or for soil stabilization projects. It has the same distinctive red bark and white flowers and berries as Red Osier Dogwood. ARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTSVARIEGATED DOGWOOD QUICK FACTS
