Aronia is a genus of deciduous shrubs native to eastern North America. It was reportedly known to Native Americans, who dried its berries for winter cakes. In Europe, aronia gained attention for its beauty, as its white flowers are among the most attractive of shrub plants. The berries are used to prepare wine, jams, teas, syrups, compotes, liqueurs, and more. They are also used as a spice and natural coloring for drinks and yogurts. Aronia is a true reservoir of biologically active compounds (over 300). It purifies the blood, improves circulation, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Fresh aronia berries have the highest antioxidant capacity among all berries and fruits studied to date. After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, aronia berries were used to alleviate health issues in exposed individuals.
The berries are not edible raw due to their bitter taste (except for red-berried aronia).
The fruits are dark blue berries, round or slightly flattened. Aronia berries form clusters of 15 to 20 fruits, with each fruit usually containing 5 to 8 seeds. The berries remain on the plant, do not fall off, and do not spoil easily.
Self-pollinating.
Highly frost-resistant, surviving winters down to -47°C. It is also resistant to drought, insects, pollution, and diseases. Aronia is pest-resistant and does not require pesticide use.
You can purchase seedlings of Chokeberry at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
