Aronia, Dwarf

Aronia melanocarpa 'Dwarf Aronia' This very compact shrub features profuse flowers, tasty, jet black berries and striking, crimson red, fall foliage. Dwarf Aronia should grow to only about 3 ft. in height.
 
Highly valued in Europe for both its ornamental value and nutritious fruit. Aronia's abundant clusters of showy white flowers in the spring are followed in the fall by large, jet-black berries and brilliant fire-red foliage. Aronia is not bothered by pests or diseases. The large blueberry-size fruit is used to make nutritious juice and natural food coloring rich in anthocyanins and is also great for attracting birds who snack on the berries in the fall. Aronia is hardy to minus 40°F. Half-day sun/part shade to full sun.
