A tree that has been grown in the field and then lifted out of the ground when dormant. Available from November to March. The roots are more open and the direct contact with the soil encourages them to settle in and establish more readily.
These are 2yr old trees that have been grown 1yr in the field and the second in a pot. Container trees can be planted at any time of the year but establish best when planted during the autumn and need to be watered well during the first summer.
Brilliant autumn red and orange tints. Interesting purple-black berries which can be eaten fresh but are very astringent when raw. Often used for making into jam, compotes or added into fruit pies, also great food for birds. The fruits arrive in autumn and look wonderful against the autumn foliage. The aronia bush produces white, hawthorn-like flowers in late spring. Also known as Chokeberry. Matte, dark green leaves.
Prefer to be planted in a moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The aronia bush is ideal to be planted for hedging and screening. Look lovely planted in cottage gardens, wildlife gardens and woodland gardens. Very low maintenance and easy to grow.
