Aronia Berry vs Mongolian CherryAronia melanocarpa Prunus fruticosa SOLD OUT SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2020) 
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. Mongolian Cherry is a hardy shrub that is often grown as an ornamental. This plant makes an attractive flowering hedgerow that requires little maintenance. The dark red cherries are tart and desirable for baking, wine-making, and canning. This shrub is popular with wildlife. ARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTSMONGOLIAN CHERRY QUICK FACTS
