I just wrote a whole piece on the wonderful chokeberry and it failed to publish, an I am left trying to write it again.. I shall keep it sort this time. Aronia Melocarpa, Black chokeberry, it went in today and will produce lots of rather tart black berries, which are delicious and are a perfect jam ingredient as they make it set easily as well as taste great. There is a red one, Aronia Arbutifolia, which I planted one of about this time last year. Its a spreading shrubby bush, and the leaves are very beautiful in the autumn as well. We hope to be able to get cuttings from and it get good at propagating them to use in the school garden project, as well as here.
