Aronia melanocarpa 'Autumn Magic'
Black chokeberry
Black chokeberry Autumn Magic gets its name from its magnificent autumn display. In summer, the slightly serrated leaves on delicate red stems are deep green, but they turn to fiery red in autum. Soft white blossoms flower abundantly in April and May and are follwed by large, edible dark-blue to black berries.
Autumn slowly develops into a dense, bushy shrub and grows to 1,5-2m tall.
It requires a moist, but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
