Hi there,

Could you please help me identify this shrub which is planted in several specimens along a road in my village. Lovely autumn colours. Shrub is approx. 1.20 heigh x 1.20 wide. Leaves 70mm long x 30 to 35 mm at the widest, entirely red at the moment, the edge is finely dented, surface is mat but a bit siny. Red berries very similar to red gooseberries, 8 to 9 mm in diameter. If needed I can go back and take a photo of the whole shrub

TIA for your help!

    Thanks for the suggestion, nutcutlet, looks like an aronia indeed, the "red berries" type, Aronia × prunifolia 'Brilliant' (purple chokeberry 'Brilliant').

    Anyone has got it in their garden?
