Product description
Chokeberry Hugin, also known as Aronia Melanocarpa, are deciduous fruit trees which produce dark and juicy chokeberries. Deep green leaves are accompanied throughout summer by clusters of beautiful white flowers, before fruits begin to ripen in autumn. As the berries ripen, the foliage also shifts to eye-catching shades of fiery red and orange.
These hardy fruit plants are great for keen gardening fans because they add beautiful blooms and colour to the garden, with the additional reward of fresh and juicy fruit at the end of the autumn season. These tart flavoured berries are deep black in colour and are great for adding to pies and jams.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Harvested chokeberries can be frozen to use throughout the year.
How to Water
Water regularly for the first year until the roots are fully settled in. Drought tolerant once established.
How to Plant
Grow chokeberries in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil. Dig a hole around twice as wide as the nursery pot and position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
