Comments

Year 1

Similar to Aronia melanocappa elata; Nothing harvestable this year, will wait for next, we have grow this variety, good seller for us; Fruit quality appears better on these plants than it does on plants I received from another source.

Year 2

Plants are still too small to harvest from; It is still a “new” planting to me, but I would like to see more vigorous growth from this plant.
