Looks like aronia to me. A cultivated hybrid, not endemic, edible.
I don’t think you should eat them
You can eat, though I remember them being rather bitter. Aronia juice on the other hand? That’s the stuff.
Yeah you can eat them. It’s aronia. The taste is bitter and chalky, but they make good jam and juice. They get sweeter late in the autumn after the first night frosts, if there are any still left in the bushes. Edit to add: reminded by another commenter, they do stain clothes very easily and the color is difficult to get completely out, so keep that in mind when picking and preparing them!
Some people like to eat them
When you ask for edibility, make sure to triple check and recognize everything yourself too. There are tons of horrible advice in internet especially when it comes to mushrooms. I’ve seen to many “good to eat” anwers with the most deathly poisonous mushrooms and berries.
Looks like aronia; not much on its own but you can make juice or jam out of them with e.g. apples. Aronia gives a deep red color, and that’s something to keep in mind when you start picking the berries: that’s gonna be messy so no white clothes.
Leaves, and no
Technically everything is safe to eat at least once…
Thank you everybody for ur opinion and its aronia from what i see. Love this active commumity.
I think its aronia! I used to eat these super often when i was younger since there were a bunch on my way back home!
Chokeberries/Aronias! Edible, just wait until they’re ripe (black). They’re a bit bitter but really healthy, and i hear that if you freeze them first they’re even better, less bitter.
