| Description | Prunus virginiana, commonly called bitter-berry, chokecherry, Virginia bird cherry and western chokecherry (also western chokecherry for Prunus virginiana var. demissa), is a species of bird cherry (Prunus subgenus Padus) native to North America; the natural historic range of Prunus virginiana includes most of the continent, except for the far north and far south. The fruits are about 1 cm (3/8 in) in diameter, range in color from bright red to black, and possess a very astringent taste, being both somewhat sour and somewhat bitter. The very ripe "berries" (actually drupes) are dark in color and less astringent and sweeter than when red and unripe.
