Common Name : Chokeberry

Latin Name : Aronia

Description : This shrub produces a berry which is indifferent for eating. However, the fall color of the chokeberry’s leaves, as well as the deep glossy look to its foliage in the summer make this seldom-used plant a possible selection for those who want something unusual and strikingly different, something people will ask about during the fall.

The chokeberry should be used where an informal, 3-4 foot shrub is desired.
