The ‘Autumn Magic’ chokeberry is a deciduous, perennial shrub known for its fragrant white spring flowers, glossy green summer foliage, and bright red-purple fall color. It produces edible, dark purple-black berries that are very astringent but can be used in jams and jellies. This variety is cultivar of Aronia melanocarpa, native to eastern North America. It can grow 4-6 feet tall, and is a good choice for screens or hedges. Cold-hardy, adaptable, drought-resistant once established, it tolerates full sun to part shade.
