1 Live Plant Black Chokeberry Aronia melanocarpa Bare Root Shrub 8 Inch Tall Hardy Native Berry
Black Chokeberry is a cold-hardy deciduous shrub native to eastern North America, valued for its glossy green foliage, white spring blossoms, and abundant clusters of dark purple-black berries in late summer. This bare root plant arrives approximately 8 inches tall and establishes readily in the landscape, growing into a multi-stemmed shrub with excellent fall color.
The tart, astringent berries are traditionally used for jams, jellies, juices, syrups, and baked goods, while the shrub itself makes an attractive hedge, border, or wildlife-friendly planting. It adapts well to a range of conditions and provides seasonal interest from spring bloom through autumn foliage.
