About this item:
The Black Chokeberry is an ornamental North American native shrub. It features large clusters of 2 – 2 1/2 inch flowers that are very showy in spring, which turn into beautiful berries in the fall. The fruit is edible, but due to its astringent taste, it is commonly used in jams. Unlike the Red Chokeberry, the Black Chokeberry has a less wild habit and is preferred by gardeners for its adaptability. These shrubs are excellent for areas that remain consistently wet or occasionally dry, as they can tolerate both moist and average conditions.
