Red chokeberry is considered by many to be the more ornamental of our chokeberry species. White flowers are followed by astringent edible red fruits and vibrant red fall foliage. According to the University of Connecticut College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources: "This selection is commonly grown by the nursery industry, probably more so than the species. It possesses enhancements to all the desirable features of the species. It blooms and fruits heavily, has larger fruit than the species, produces very glossy, dark green foliage and dependable, intense red fall color." (http://hort.uconn.edu/detail.php?pid=55)
