Black Chokeberry – Aronia melanocarpa 300 Seeds | Hardy Edible Shrub Bulk Native Berry Seeds | Antioxidant-Rich Fruit | Brilliant Fall Color

Establish a hardy, productive native shrub with these Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) seeds. Known for its adaptability, spring flowers, glossy foliage, and nutrient-dense berries, this shrub is ideal for edible landscapes and large-scale planting projects.

In spring, clusters of white five-petaled flowers bloom beautifully against deep green leaves. By early fall, glossy black berries develop, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Though very tart fresh, the fruit is excellent for jams, jellies, wine, syrup, juice, tea, and preserves. Birds and wildlife eagerly feed on the berries, making this shrub perfect for habitat and conservation plantings.

Black Chokeberry spreads by root suckers, forming dense colonies that work well for hedges, windbreaks, erosion control, pond edges, and naturalized areas. It tolerates cold, heat, drought, salt, wind, and even wet soils with ease.

This 300-seed bulk pack is ideal for restoration projects, large hedgerows, food forests, nursery propagation, and commercial growers.

You will receive:
✔️ 300 Black Chokeberry seeds
