1 Black Aronia Shrub, 18+inch, Fast Growing Berry Plant for Garden Landscaping

1 Black Aronia Shrub - Ready to Ship

The shrubs are now dormant, leafless, handled well, and they will be packed as bare root. Order now and all the way through early-Spring. The supply of these is fair. Ships 18+ inches, may be trimmed plants...

These are the true native species, not a hybrid...

Don't wait, order right away... the Aronia is a "super food" very high in anti-oxidants, as it's a member of the Rose Family. They are commonly called Chokeberry, since the dry-ish berry is a Rose member, so they are tart. But when kept watered and allowed to turn from dark blue to purplish-black, they can be fairly sweet. Use them to make juice and jam, or mix with other berries. We mix them with Elderberries, ginger, honey, and cinnamon as a syrupy healthy tonic. They work well mixed with other trees and smaller plants, or plant rows for berry production. These can be planted singly, orchards, or mix into shelterbelts and green barriers. Hardy in most soils, they are good for Plant Zones 5 to 10, and like being moist. They grow best in full sun, but partial shading fine as well. They ship small, but they are fast growing...

This plant is 2+ year olds, single-stem trimmed back lightly, typical root is a single tap-root, with many fine roots. Good hardy plants checked before packing.

Plan Early - Order Now - Plant Early... If you can work your ground, plant now. Give the tree time to acclimate to your soil and growing conditions. Waiting for Spring is too late... trees are best planted early-early. Tomatoes and peppers are Spring, trees and plants are best planted while dormant and cool conditions. Ponder this...

Generally plan on this:

If you live in the Southern half of the country, order starting November, and take delivery right away. Plant (or pot) the tree right away. You can plant as long as your ground is not frozen. Put a thick layer of mulch around it. Get planted by mid-April before the warmer weather arrives.

If you live in the Northern half of the country, order during the late Winter, and take delivery early. Pot up your tree and hold it in a dark, cool, moist location, that will get a minimal amount of light and some moisture, but cool enough to keep it dormant until you can plant it outdoors. Plant as soon as your ground thaws. After planting, put a thick layer of mulch around it.

Once you get your plants, open the box and put them in a bucket of water, and plant right away. If you can not plant right away, then pot the plants or/and hold the plants in a cool dark, moist location until they can be planted.

Always best to add a thick mulch layer. Having a thick layer of mulch helps to conserve soil moisture, keeps the weeds down, and helps recycle the nutrients. A thick mulch layer also moderates the soil temperatures, which then reduces the stress on the roots.
