Its deer-resistant nature and low maintenance requirements make it ideal for both residential and commercial gardens. Whether used as a hedge, specimen plant, or border edging, Berry Scape™ Aronia attracts butterflies and other pollinators, adding life and movement to your outdoor space.
Berry Scape™ Aronia Plant Care
To cultivate Berry Scape™ Aronia successfully, plant it in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. This shrub adapts to a wide range of soil types, including clay, as long as the soil is well-drained. Water the plant moderately, allowing the top two inches of soil to dry out between watering sessions to prevent root rot. Apply a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season to support vigorous growth and abundant fruit production. Maintaining a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0 will help optimize nutrient uptake and overall plant health.
Pruning Berry Scape™ Aronia is straightforward. Remove spent flowers monthly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent overcrowding. If shaping is necessary, prune lightly in early spring before new growth begins, removing any dead or damaged wood. This helps maintain a neat appearance and promotes healthy growth throughout the season. Avoid heavy pruning, as Berry Scape™ blooms on old wood, and excessive trimming can reduce berry production.
Berry Scape™ Aronia Spacing
For optimal growth and air circulation, space Berry Scape™ Aronia shrubs about 4 feet apart when planting in a border or hedge. This spacing allows each plant enough room to expand and thrive without competition. When planting in containers, choose pots that are at least 18 inches in diameter to accommodate the shrub’s mature size. The container should provide sufficient space for root development, but not too much space that the roots are exposed to excess moisture.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
