Introducing the Aronia arbutifolia Red Chokeberry, a stunning North American shrub species in the rose family. Its branching habit produces clumps with stems forming from the roots, while its white or pink flowers offer a fantastic source of nectar for pollinators. The resulting black or bright red fruit is a great food source for birds and wildlife, but many people consider it to be foul-tasting. Nevertheless, it can be used to make wine, jam, syrup, juice, and other spreads. Highly valued for its antioxidant properties, this ornamental plant is a great addition to any garden. The glossy foliage turns a brilliant red in autumn, making it a perfect alternative to the non-native burning bush. Check out our website for more information on this incredible shrub.
