Elata Black Chokeberry

Aronia melanocarpa 'Elata' is a superior, upright deciduous shrub known for its glossy dark green foliage and multi-season interest. In spring, it produces clusters of white flowers, followed by nutrient-dense black berries that persist into winter. Its most striking feature is the vibrant red and purple fall color. Highly adaptable, it thrives in various soil types, from wet to dry, and is ideal for mass plantings, hedges, or naturalized areas where its suckering habit is welcome.
