Aronia melanocarpa 'Autumn Magic', or black chokeberry 'Autumn Magic', is a remarkable ornamental and fruiting selection known for its antioxidant-rich black berries and spectacular autumn foliage, with deep red-orange hues. This variety develops a dense, rounded bushy habit, ideal for informal hedges, edible gardens, or naturalistic landscapes. It flowers in spring with light white umbels, highly visited by pollinators. In late summer, its shiny edible berries attract birds and are suitable for making juices or jams. Hardy, resilient, and versatile, 'Autumn Magic' combines ecological value, seasonal beauty, and local production, while requiring little maintenance.
