Chokecherry
📍 3Q85+F9 Palmyra, NY, USA
🗓 Season: July · August
🔍 When is it ripe?
Small clusters ripen from red to very dark purple-black. Intensely astringent until fully dark; seeds and leaves contain hydrocyanic acid — cook or dry before eating in quantity. Best for jams and syrups.
Several shrubs along the canal. Tannic but good. Pop a couple black raspberries in your mouth while you eat them to balance the tannins. I usually swallow the pits.
