Black Chokeberry

The Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) is a hardy deciduous shrub that thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is native to North America, growing in hardiness zones 3-8. This shrub produces clusters of white flowers in the spring, followed by dark purple-black berries in the fall. At maturity, the Black Chokeberry reaches a height and spread of 3-6 feet, making it an excellent choice for naturalizing or adding a pop of color to a landscape.
