Black Chokeberry, or Aronia Melanocarpa often sold in the US is actually a hybrid between Aronia Melanocarpa and a Mountain Ash. See these plants actually come from the Soviet Union, where they were cultivated all over up into Siberia.

Also I realize now after upload I forgot to include the image for regions where this was cultivated in the USSR. I posted it to Twitter if you want to see it.
