One of the exciting offerings this year will be Aronia Melanocarpa, aka: chokeberry (not choke cherry). This is a beautiful, fast growing shrub, that will produce an abundance of health-intense berries. While the fruit is extremely astringent, this can be counter-acted by using them in recipes that contain milk (which neutralizes the astringency), or simply wait until a hard frost.
Here is a VERY GOOD informative video.
