Description
"Chokecherry Shadows" by Patti Deters. The tiny white balls of these chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) flower buds cast an interesting shadow on the leaf below. Other common names for chokecherry are bitter berry, bird cherry, and chokeberry. The flower buds will open to a white flower, then the seed will turn red, and finally become purple as the berry matures. The plants are small tree-like shrubs that grow in full sun. Chokeberry is a stone fruit, meaning there is a center pit (which is poisonous).
