How to grow the Chokeberry Plant

 

Chokeberries (Aronia Berries) grow well in full- to part-sun locations. They are not fussy about soil type, but grow best in a slightly acidic soil that is high in organic matter.  They can grow in both dry or wet soil.

 

Planting

"Select a location for the chokeberry shrub in full sun or partial shade with slightly acidic soil, between about 6 and 7 pH. Space multiple plants 4 to 6 feet apart; if growing chokeberry for fruit, space 10 feet apart.  Dig the planting hole and work amendments into the soil, if needed. Break up soil in a hole about three times as wide and deep as the container the chokeberry is in. If desired, mix organic amendments like well-composted manure or plant materials into the soil to improve structure, moisture retention and fertility or to lower the pH; amendments should compose no more than 50 percent of the soil."
