Grow a beautiful and nutrient-rich fruit shrub in your garden!
The Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) is a deciduous shrub from the rose family πΉ, thriving in cold (zone 3) to warm (zone 8) climates. Native to North America, this hardy plant produces gorgeous white flowers in spring and deep purple-black berries in summer that are packed with powerful antioxidants. With a height range of 3 to 12 feet, itβs a fantastic addition to any landscape, offering year-round beauty and health benefits! πΌπ³
For the best growth and fruit production, plant these seeds in well-drained soil with low moisture. This shrub flourishes in full sun but also has good shade tolerance. With a high purity rate of 97-99% and a 60-80% germination rate, these seeds are perfect for home gardeners and orchard enthusiasts alike. However, they require 90-120 days of cold, moist stratification for successful sprouting. Once established, new shoots will emerge around the plant, forming a natural hedge or fencerow! πΏβ¨
