content: These are branches from a red chokeberry shrub on a paper mount. While the berries were originally a bright red color, they have since become dark brown. The leaves are ovular and ridgeless, with a pointed tip at the end of the leaf. The berries are less than 1 cm in size, the leaves are about 8.5 cm in length, and the branches are about 27 cm. The full mount is about 38 cm in height and 29 cm in length. This specimen description was written remotely based on images as part of Amber Kreiensieck's internship in Fall 2021.
