Plant Aronia Berry Plants (Aronia melanocarpa) Chokeberry Add a fruiting shrub to your garden that is easy to grow. These are tougher deciduous shrubs which bear clusters of berries and good green foliage which turns a strong autumn color later in the year.

There’s Black Viking and Aronia Hugin – two compact, productive varieties that are well suited to fruit gardens, mixed borders and larger containers. The dark berries have a natural sharp flavor and are often used for juices, jams, preserves and cooking. Aronia melanocarpa is very hardy and easy to grow. It grows in sun or partial shade and will tolerate a wide range of soils. Once installed, very little maintenance is needed. Aronia Chokeberry Plants are rewarding choices for edible and ornamental gardens, with homegrown berries, spring flowers and beautiful autumn foliage.

Watering Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then allow the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Mediterranean herbs prefer free-draining conditions and generally need less water than leafy crops. Container-grown plants will still need checking frequently during warm, dry weather.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile loam, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
