The aronia berry plant

The dark purple aronia berry grows in heavy umbels on robust shrubs. The plant originally comes from North America and was already highly valued by the indigenous people there. The berry reached Central Europe and Germany more than 100 years ago via Russia and Eastern Europe. Because the aronia berry contains so many important vital substances, it is gaining more and more fans as the local fruit.

The appearance of the aronia plant

The aronia plant is a deciduous shrub up to 2 meters high with pointed, striking wine-red winter buds. The leaves are 2-8 cm long, usually short-pointed, finely serrated and with black-red hairs on the midrib. The aronia berry blooms quite late – in May – with white flowers on umbrellas. This has the advantage that the aronia blossom is often spared during late frosts in spring. By August, roundish, dark purple, almost black 6-13 mm aronia berries form – about the size of cultivated blueberries. Depending on the variety, up to 30 small “apple berries” can hang from one umbel. When you cut open the berries, you can also see their resemblance to an apple. The small seeds are arranged symmetrically around the center. The flesh is intensely red in color. The darker the flesh, the riper the fruit. The fruit is fully ripe at the end of August/beginning of September. In autumn, the shrubs delight with their bright red foliage. The shrubs lose their leaves in winter and hibernate in snow and frost down to -35°C.

Aronia cultivation – at home and on the plantation

Anyone can grow chokeberries in their own garden. The aronia berry is also an ornamental as a container plant for balconies or terraces. The plant is quite undemanding as far as the soil is concerned. It does not like soils that are too clayey or sandy. The more sun, the more fructose can be formed in the fruit. In the Aronia ORIGINAL Shop you can buy our Aronia Nero – a variety especially for fruit growing. If you are interested in an entire aronia berry plantation (5 hectares or more), you can also contact us. To expand our Aronia ORIGINAL network, we are always on the lookout for cooperation partners as purchasers and marketers of organic aronia berries.

What types of aronia berry plants are there?

Through breeding, crossing and selection, different varieties have been developed from the wild varieties of the black aronia berry (Aronia melanocarpa), the plum-leaved aronia berry (Aronia prunifolia) and the felt aronia berry (Aronia arbutifolia) for gardening and fruit growing. With their strong green leaves and well-branched shoots, the wild varieties do not grow as tall as some cultivated varieties.

The cultivar“Aronia Nero“, for example, is equally important for domestic cultivation and agricultural use. It forms larger umbelliferous clusters and reaches a fruit weight of 1.0 to 1.5 g per berry at a height of up to 2.5 meters.
