Choke*cherry* (Prunus virginiana) Leaf and flower detail, lower bark, higher bark - 4/24/10 WWW4 in VA - McCormick Mill (see description) "The chokeberries, genus Aronia, are often mistakenly called chokecherries. This naming confusion is easy to understand considering there is a cultivar of the chokecherry Prunus virginiana 'Melanocarpa' and a species of chokeberry named Aronia melanocarpa. In fact, the two plants are not close relatives within their subfamily Spiraeoideae." - Wikipedia
