ADVICES

This shrub is best planted in a sunny position. The plant prefers fertile soil that is free draining and moderately moist, with an optimum pH in the range of 6.0-7.0.

The aronia tolerates pruning in both spring and summer. After planting, you should remove the twisted and creeping shoots. The other shoots should be reduced to 2-3 bud eyes above the ground. In subsequent years remove damaged, crooked, or creeping shoots. Older plants require thinning out - annually remove some of the thickest, oldest stems to avoid density in the bush.
