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.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
