The chokecherry, scientifically known as Prunus virginiana, got its name from the astringent taste of its fruit, which can be quite unpleasant if eaten raw in large quantities, leading to a "choking" sensation. Native Americans and early settlers used the berries for making jams, jellies, and other food products, highlighting their culinary potential despite the initial bitterness. The name reflects both the fruit's characteristics and its historical usage.
