The Red Chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliantissima') is a deciduous edible native shrub that typically grows to 10 feet tall and is perhaps most noted for its attractive glossy red berries and red fall foliage color! These Superfruit boast incredible health benefits for you and your family!

Clusters of white to pinkish flowers appear in spring. Flowers are followed by abundant glossy small, red fruit which appears in dense clusters along the branches. The glossy, dark green toothy foliage turns bright eye-catching red in autumn for a fiery end of the growing season. The fruit ripens in late summer and persists throughout fall and well into winter.

Brilliantissima primarily differs from its cousins by being more compact, producing more lustrous foliage with superior red fall color and producing larger, glossier, and more abundant fruit! What's not to love? Your local songbirds and pollinators sure know it's incredible and will be showing up in droves!

Beautiful in a naturalized area, and stunning as a hedge, Red Chokeberry are versatile and easy-going edible landscaping wildlife shrubs! Plant a hedgerow to corral your kitchen or vegetable garden.

  • Full Sun & Partial Shade
  • Tolerates Periodically Wet or Dry Soils
  • Cold-Hardy & Heat Tolerant
  • Prune When Dormant
  • Appreciates Mulch
