Photinia pyrifolia
Red chokeberry is a deciduous shrub that thrives in wet meadows, swamps, and woodland edges. Clusters of white flowers in spring are followed by bright red berries that persist into winter. Its foliage turns brilliant red in fall, adding ornamental value. The berries, while astringent to humans, are an important winter food source for birds. Native to eastern North America.
