Aronia Berry vs Gray DogwoodAronia melanocarpa Cornus racemosa SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
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.
Gray dogwood is a thicket-forming, deciduous shrub with greenish-white blossoms in open, terminal clusters. Young twigs are red and the fruit pedicels remain conspicuously red into late fall and early winter. ARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTSGRAY DOGWOOD QUICK FACTS
