NERO ARONIA PLANT INFORMATION
When it comes to unusual things to grow in your garden Aronia ranks right up there with the best of them. Aronia (aronia melanocarpa) is a member of the rose family and is a deciduous cold hardy shrub. It bears fruit that is very astringent… so much so that it is also called chokeberry because the astringency makes you want to choke.
This attractive ornamental is a very showy plant with leaves that come out bright green in the spring. They turn darker green as summer goes on and then turns bright red in autumn. In mid to late May it has fragrant flowers with five petals that give way to clumps of small astringent fruit as the summer passes.
