Aronia Melanocarpa Hugin (Black Chokeberry) Perfect to add some extra interest and colour to your autumn beds and borders, Aronia melancarpa Hugin takes on a fiery shade of orange and red in the autumn months. This compact shrub blooms into pretty white flowers in early summer which become blackberries in the autumn - and with the arrival of the berries, the foliage begins to add some heat to your displays. These tart Aronia berries, also known as Black Chokeberry, are commonly made into jams compotes or added into fruit pies. Due to its small size, this Aronia is ideal for small gardens and tolerates boggy growing conditions as well. Height: 2m (6'). Spread: 3m (10').
