Black Chokeberry Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

Aronia melanocarpa, also commonly known as the black chokeberry and increasingly as aronia, is a deciduous shrub native to the eastern United States. Europeans and Russians developed the most common varieties grown now, including the "Viking" and the "Nero". It grows to a height of five or six feet. The shrub has a reputation for toughness. Its flowers are small and white, and it has bold red autumn foliage.

The older name, "black chokeberry", comes from the observation that birds refuse to eat the berries, perhaps because they are dry-tasting. Juice from these flavorful berries is high in Vitamin C. It is sold as juice, wine and jam. It is also used as a soft drink flavoring.

Of domesticated fruiting plants, the Aronia is one of the most productive, equal to the Seaberry.
