Aronia melanocarpa 'UCONNAM165'
Choose Low Scape Mound® Aronia for a compact native-derived shrub that covers bed edges, slopes, and tough moisture swings. The tradeoff: it stays low, so it will not give privacy or strong winter structure.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Spring flowers, dark fruit, and red fall color read best in groups rather than as one plant. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace but is not the fastest way to cover a large bare area. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it usually needs only cleanup pruning and removal of any unwanted suckers. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | The compact habit makes it easy to use near walks, fronts of beds, and foundation edges. |
| Screening Value | D | It stays too low and open in winter to function as a privacy plant. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend planting it in groups where you want a low, durable shrub layer, not as a stand-alone specimen. Give it room to knit together and do any shaping after spring flowering.

No. It handles changing moisture, but water regularly the first season.
They are chokeberries: useful for wildlife and processing, but too astringent for most fresh eating.
Not always. If deer feed heavily in your yard, plan protection while it gets established.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
