Aronia prunifolia 'Nero'
Aronia prunifolia 'Nero', or black chokeberry 'Nero', is a robust and productive fruiting shrub, grown for its shiny, sweet, and slightly astringent black berries, ideal for jams, juices, and drying. It has a well-branched, rounded habit, adorned in spring with abundant white flowers, followed by decorative and nutritious fruits in late summer. Its dense, lustrous dark green foliage turns a flamboyant orange in autumn, adding remarkable seasonal appeal. Disease-resistant, deer-resistant, and drought-tolerant, 'Nero' is perfectly suited for fruit hedges, edible gardens, and multifunctional plantings, offering yield, beauty, and biodiversity.
