I recently called up  a new local non-grape winery and asked what fruits 
they were short on..expecting to hear raspberries or hoping to hear 
currants, insead it was ....."Plant choke cherries!  What I can't use I know 
of local jam makers who will buy the rest. We pay a dollar a pound"
We have plenty of wild chokecherries in the bush, but the crop is so thin or 
irregular its hard to imagine picking  a hundred pounds. I have never heard 
of a commercial planting, any one else?  Del
