About Aronia prunifolia ‘Nero’ (black chokeberry)

Clusters of white flowers appear in spring and later develop into dark purple to black berries. The fruits ripen in late summer and often remain on the bush for some time.

Besides harvesting, this plant also has obvious ornamental value. In autumn, the leaves turn to intense shades of red and orange, making the shrub stand out even in autumn.

Probably native to Russia, introduced around 1970 from Slovakia to Germany, the Aronia grows into a compact, well-branched shrub about 1.5 to 2 metres tall. The plant has few soil requirements and grows in both sunny and slightly shaded areas. Its strong winter hardiness makes the chokeberry suitable for almost any garden. The fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them enormously healthy
