Hallo Jim Fruth,
thank you for your e-mail!
It is a bush - indeed, but sometimes not!
If planted outside USA...

Only in this case we both have to trust 100%ly the name Cerny Jerab.
This is only Aronia melanocarpa.
Look at this page with a "tree-photo":
http://fyzika.ft.utb.cz/podzamka/karta.php?id=191

I think your plant has been much more known outside USA.
Approx. 1900 Michurin imported seeds (from Germany!) to Russia.
1971 Siberia has had already 4.000 ha (1 ha = 10.000m²) of Arionia 
production.
Many East-Europe and North-Europe countries are producing Aronia at 
plantations.
E.g. at GDR it has been the custom to graft aronia onto 1m Sorbus 
aucuparia rootsstock.

Ciao
hans
