× Sorbaronia fallax, synonyms including × Sorbaronia mitschurinii and Aronia × mitschurinii, is an artificial hybrid between Aronia melanocarpa and Sorbus aucuparia. Before genetic testing, it was thought to be a hybrid among cultivars of Aronia melanocarpa, common ones including 'Viking' and 'Nero'. It has been suggested that × Sorbaronia fallax is the product of Russian pomologist Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin's early 20th-century experiments in wide hybridizations.
