Red Chokeberry, Bare Root
Red Chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia)
Red Chokeberry is a multi-season native shrub offering white spring flowers, glossy green leaves, bright red berries, and brilliant fall foliage. Its fruit is high in antioxidants, valuable to wildlife, and useful for juices and preserves. This tough, suckering shrub thrives in wet or dry soils, making it a powerful addition to restoration work and low-maintenance landscapes.
Key Characteristics
- High-antioxidant red berries – Tart fruit feeds birds and can be used for juice, jelly, or fermented tonics.
- Excellent wildlife plant – Supports pollinators in spring and feeds birds in winter.
- Vibrant fall color and year-round structure – Leaves turn scarlet-red in autumn; persistent fruit adds winter interest.
- Thrives in challenging soils – Tolerates drought, clay, and wet soils; great for naturalizing or slope stabilization.
- Low-maintenance and suckering – Forms colonies for hedgerows, streambanks, or erosion control.
