A superfood that is rich in antioxidants and anthocyanins, Aronia’s are excellent dried and eaten in smoothies. Best left on the tree well into fall in order to allow some of the sugars to develop. This zone 2 shrub is easy on your harvest schedule when everything else has already been picked. We’ve harvested them well into November in Montana, surrounded by snow. The berries don’t seem to be affected when it hits sub-20 degree F temps. They reach roughly 5-6 ft. at maturity in Montana, perhaps slightly more depending on if there is more organic matter rich, soft, loamy soil. A must for all cold climate sites. Hardy to zone 2 (-40F or more).

Plant are currently 2-3 ft. tall
