Product description

Nero Chokeberry is a hardy deciduous shrub known for its attractive foliage and edible berries. In the spring, it produces clusters of small, white flowers that develop into glossy black berries by late summer. The berries are rich in antioxidants and are perfect for making jams, jellies, and juices. The foliage turns a vibrant red in the autumn, adding seasonal interest to the garden.

Growing up to 200cm tall and wide, Nero Chokeberry is ideal for use in hedges, borders, or as a specimen plant. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and can tolerate full sun to partial shade. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, ensures the plant remains healthy and productive. With its ornamental and practical qualities, Nero Chokeberry is a valuable addition to any garden.

Instructions

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.
