Aronia Berry (Chokeberry) – Superfruit Power Meets Ornamental Beauty

Grow your own antioxidant powerhouse with the Aronia Berry, also known as Chokeberry — a hardy, native shrub prized for its nutrient-rich berries, vibrant foliage, and multi-season interest. Perfect for edible landscapes and ornamental gardens alike, Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa) offers glossy green leaves, clusters of white spring flowers, deep purple-black berries in late summer, and fiery red-orange fall color.

As one of the richest sources of antioxidants, polyphenols, and vitamin C, Aronia berries are known for their immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory benefits. Whether you enjoy them fresh, dried, juiced, or cooked into jams and baked goods, these berries are as healthy as they are flavorful — with a bold, tart taste that mellows beautifully when sweetened.

Why Choose Aronia Berry (Chokeberry)?

Native to North America, Aronia is incredibly cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and low-maintenance, making it ideal for home gardeners and permaculture landscapes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, including clay and sandy soils. Once established, it requires minimal watering and care, while providing years of edible and visual rewards.

Aronia is also a pollinator-friendly plant, attracting bees and butterflies in spring, and birds in the fall with its nutritious berries.
