Chokeberry, Latin name aronia, is an upright, spreading and suckering, multi-stemmed, ornamental shrub. It is commonly used in landscaping as borders or hedges for its showy flowers, berries, and fall foliage. This shrub is well-adapted to poor soils and does well in wetter areas. Chokeberry fruit is a food source for wildlife and is good for use in jams and jellies.
