Black chokeberry 'Low Scape Mound'
Aronia melanocarpa
The black chokeberry ‘Low Scape Mound’ (Aronia melanocarpa) is a dense groundcover in a neat, small mound, perfect for a sturdy border and offering many other landscaping possibilities.
After a nectar-rich bloom that lights up against the dark, healthy foliage, the nearly black berries have the chance to ripen as the leaves turn red in preparation for frost. The birds are not tempted, nor are the neighboring children, to consume these dark, tart fruits, which resemble blueberries without the sweetness. They are astringent and slightly bitter but packed with anthocyanin pigments. An excellent natural food coloring when dried into powder or juiced as a powerful antioxidant. More for you to enjoy! These berries are great in savory dishes, maple desserts, paired with spices, the gentle bitterness of chocolate, or made into jam with sweeter fruits.
Never seen ravaged by disease or pests, it guarantees significant harvests year after year, which can be gathered with just a quick, efficient pass, requiring little more than pruning old branches that are less likely to bear fruit. Resilient, the black chokeberry ‘Low Scape Mound’ perfectly embodies the ideal of maximum harvest for minimal effort.
It prevents erosion along riparian zones, tolerates salt spray and drought, and adapts to marshy soils, withstanding both heat and cold. Self-pollinating.
