Light Required Full sun / Partial shade
Watering Moist but well–drained
Best Growing Conditions Black Chokeberry Hugin’ is self-fertile so you won’t need a pollinating partner. It enjoys most soils, particularly damper ones, but it won’t grow well in waterlogged soils. Full sun to partial shade will help ripen the berries and keep the shrub in good health, and an annual mulching will boost the fruiting quality. There’s no need to prune this variety of Chokeberry as it is naturally compact, but cut out any dead or crossed stems, and reduce the height by a third if you wish, in its winter dormancy.
