Improved or hybrid American black cherry?

By choke cherry you’re taking about aronia, or something else?

I was referring to Prunus. virginiana. There was some relevant discussion on this thread:

Wild Cherry Cultivation?

Has anyone tried to tame a wild cherry tree? Obviously, all cultivated fruits are descendants of wild fruits, but…I’ve got some Pin Cherry (Prunus Pensylvanica) on the property that put out Bing-like cherries. The fruit size is about 40% of a commercial cherry, maybe a bit less. They taste great and are definitely worth picking. I’ll try to get some photos this year.
