BLACK CHOKEBERRY

Aronia melanocarpa, commonly known as Black Chokeberry, is a rugged and highly ornamental deciduous shrub native to eastern North America, prized for its multi-season interest and "superfood" berries. In spring, Black Chokeberry is covered in clusters of delicate, white-to-pinkish flowers that provide vital nectar for bees and butterflies. As summer progresses, blooms give way to glossy, deep purple to black berries that are exceptionally high in antioxidants and vitamins. Its aesthetic appeal peaks in the autumn when its dark green, waxy foliage turns into a showy display of crimson and fiery orange, making it a standout choice for mass plantings, hedges, or wildlife gardens.

Aronia melanocarpa is easy to care for due to its hardiness and adaptability to various environmental conditions. It performs best in full sun to partial shade, though planting it in full sun will yield the most abundant fruit harvest and the most intense fall color. While it prefers moist, well-draining, and slightly acidic soil, it is tolerant of a wide range of textures, including boggy "wet feet" and heavy clay, as well as occasional drought once established.
