Red Chokeberry or Red Chokecherry is a deciduous, perennial, 6 to 12 foot tall shrub that is native to both wet and dry thickets. During the spring, clusters of white flowers with red anthers appear, while bright red fruits ripen in the fall and persist on the shrub well into winter. It grows best in full sun, and in moist, rich soils.
