I just learned that I have a chokecherry among the trees on my new acreage.
I did a quick Google search on them and found little information, other than
the berries are poisonous to humans.  Yet, there were also listings for
chokecherry jelly and wine for sale.  Obviously, the berries aren't killing
people so what is the story?  Are chokecherries edible and are they good for
more than feeding the local wildlife?
