Aronia arbutifolia (Red Chokeberry)

Aronia arbutifolia (Red Chokeberry) is an excellent shrub to plant in larger landscapes to backdrop areas, wooded edges, and borders for privacy.  Its red fruit stays into winter providing a refreshing splash of color in the dreary winter. Careful on smaller landscapes as it can overtake adjacent plantings. Fruits are sometimes used to make jams or jellies. A great replacement for the invasive burning bush as it turns a spectacular red in the fall.
