Chokecherry-Prunus virginiana

A shrub or small tree, chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) is often found in moister areas. Right now it has racemes of small white flowers that will turn into fruits that can be used for jellies and jams.

These white fruits will turn darker as they age--the darker they are, the sweeter they are. Chokecherry is found across most of the U.S.
