I'm sorry I can't currently supply full latin names, but in WI two species
of Aronia are recommended for landscaping. One is more shade-tolerant,
often rated for shade. I've seen it in both shade and sun, and there's no
comparison: it's definitely a sun plant! I also have to wonder about
currants in the shade being expected to produce fruit-- not practical?
