A small cluster of these small trees (large bushes?) are growing on my
property.
They were pretty non-descript until the fall when they suddenly became
covered with
very small blue berries. Anyone know what kind of tree this is? I'm in Zone
5 (connecticut)

Nothing seems to be eating the berries, so I'm assuming they're toxic.

There's a picture at

Chokeberry?

I don't think it's toxic. It's bitter. Nothing bothers them until
there no other food left in winter.

I'm not an expert. The contractor whom from I bought my house told me
the name. There are quite a few of them in my backyard woodland. The
shrub reseeds itself. The small babies everywhere under the tree, not
invasive to lawn though.
