Aronia melanocarpa ‘Autumn Magic’ is a deciduous, multi-stem shrub cultivar of Black Chokecherry known for intense reddish-purple fall color, larger fruits, and improved form. It features fragrant white, spring flowers and edible black summer fruit. It has a suckering/colonizing habit. Uses include hedge, screen, shrub borders, naturalizing, mass planting, rain gardens, and erosion control on slopes. Full sun produces the best fruit and fall color, but will grow in partial shade. It tolerates everything from wet, boggy soils to dry conditions once established. Highly adaptable to average, clay, sandy, or poorly drained soils; prefers slightly acidic pH. Deer-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to -40°F.
