How to Prune Black chokeberry?
(Aronia melanocarpa)
Black chokeberry, also known as Black chokeberry
A deciduous shrub renowned for its rich berries and vibrant fall foliage, black chokeberry thrives with selective, strategic pruning. Ideal pruning should remove old, weak, or dead wood, and thinning the center enhances light penetration and air circulation, promoting healthier growth. Best executed in early spring, pruning encourages vigorous berry production and maintains an attractive shape. Specific care includes sterilizing tools to prevent disease transmission and avoiding over-pruning to ensure bountiful fruit yields.
