Black Chokeberry – Aronia melanocarpa 150 Seeds | Hardy Edible Shrub Bulk Native Shrub Seeds | Antioxidant-Rich Berries | Brilliant Fall Color

Grow a hardy and highly adaptable native shrub with these Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) seeds. Known for its spring flowers, glossy foliage, vibrant fall color, and nutrient-rich berries, this shrub is both ornamental and productive.

In spring, clusters of white five-petaled flowers bloom against deep green foliage. By early fall, glossy black berries develop, packed with vitamin C and antioxidants. While very tart when fresh, the berries are excellent for jams, jellies, wine, syrup, juice, soft spreads, and tea. Birds and wildlife also rely on the fruit for food, making this shrub ideal for habitat gardens.

Black Chokeberry spreads naturally by root suckers, forming dense colonies—perfect for hedges, windbreaks, erosion control, native plant gardens, and naturalized landscapes. It tolerates cold, heat, drought, salt, wind, and even wet soils.

This 150-seed pack is ideal for mass planting, restoration projects, hedge rows, or nursery propagation.

You will receive:
✔️ 150 Black Chokeberry seeds
