Aronia

Excellent fruit for juice, jams, and wine

Prized for its delicious fruit and brilliant red fall foliage. The Nero Aronia's have huge clusters of snowy white flowers cover the plants in spring, followed in the fall by clusters of large, flavorful, blueberry-size blue-black fruits that make delicious juice, jam, and wine. Fruits are very high in vitamin C. This 3 to 4 foot shrub is so easy to grow and productive that it's bound to become a staple in American backyards just as it has in Eastern Europe.
