The plant forms a semi-open bush, it can stand the cold and adapts to all types of soil. Aronia berries are rich in vitamin C and vitamin K; the antioxidant properties are particularly important: thanks to anthocyanins and polyphenols, aronia is in fact very useful in fighting free radicals, responsible for cellular aging.

Maturation: Quite slow, the fruits, in fact, are available for harvesting around the beginning of September.

Fruit: Round, black berries the size of a blueberry.
