Need to know what this is. I don't think the berries are anything to worry about...but this customer wants to confirm they are not poisonous or anything. Thanks!

yes black chokeberry, Aronia melancarpa. Desirable in some areas fast growing and the berries are used for juice under the brand name Aronia Berry Juice. The plant is being developed for treating some types of cancer....
