Low Scape Mound Chokeberry – 1 Live Shrub, 3-Gallon Pot – Aronia melanocarpa ‘UCONNAM165’

Low Scape Mound® Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa ‘UCONNAM165’) is a compact, deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its naturally rounded growth habit and seasonal interest. Its glossy green leaves form a dense mound that provides a tidy appearance in garden borders, foundation plantings, and mixed landscapes.

In spring, the shrub produces numerous clusters of small white flowers that attract pollinators. Dark purple-black berries may develop after flowering, providing ornamental interest and a food source for wildlife. During autumn, the foliage transitions from green to vivid shades of red, creating a colorful seasonal display.

This selection of black chokeberry is known for its adaptability to a range of growing conditions. It performs well in full sun to partial shade and tolerates various soil types, including periodically moist soils. Its compact, mounding form makes it suitable for low-growing landscape groupings, garden edging, and decorative outdoor containers.

This listing includes 1 live Low Scape Mound Chokeberry in the 3-gallon pot size category. Shipping height, root condition, and whether the nursery pot is included during shipping have not been specified.
