SKU: aro_arb_000 Category:
Aronia arbutifolia is an upright, twiggy shrub with multiple stems and sparse, alternate elliptical leaves and terminal clusters of small white flowers in the spring. Leaves turn deep red in fall, especially in full sun. The bright red berries are winter persistent, often clinging onto the plant stems until early spring. Brilliant red berries attract northward migrating birds such as Cedar Waxwings and provide food for them on their way to spring nesting grounds.
