About the genus
Aronia are deciduous shrubs featuring simple leaves that display vibrant colors in the fall. They produce clusters of small, white flowers reminiscent of hawthorn blooms, which give way to berries in black, red, or purple hues. While these berries are edible, they possess a strong astringency when consumed raw and may draw the attention of birds.
