    Hi, I am looking for help to find out what kind of tree this is, we have a similar one growing in our backyard, but no one can identify what it is. It has dark purple leaves and clusters of dark purple berries, is about 30 feet tall and is growing in northern Alberta, Canada. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    *Note, this isn't my picture, its the only one i could find on the internet that was the same as our tree, unfortunately, the taker of the photograph also didn't know what kind of tree it is lol.

    Thank you!

    Purple-leaved form of chokecherry. These are common in plantings.
