I am designing a buffer restoration along a river off the Chesapeake Bay and plant to use Aronia for the first time. I'm looking forward to it!Meg Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327139153765161796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850578816787718159.post-50664419647799944232010-06-13T12:56:19.874-04:002010-06-13T12:56:19.874-04:00Thomas,

I was considering using Aronia 'Brilliantissima' in a rain garden in a public park that is trying to attract birds and butterflies. I was dismayed to find that Dirr said that it is "called Chokeberry because of its astringent taste, even birds don't like it." What has been your experience with Aronia attracting birds? Any cultivars better than any others?

I guess they are not related, but being dark purple probabaly also are filled with antioxidants.Gloria Bondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747664817254721613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850578816787718159.post-54337980347037979562010-06-10T11:57:57.179-04:002010-06-10T11:57:57.179-04:00I suppose it's only a matter of days until Aro...I suppose it's only a matter of days until Aronia extract starts showing up in all of our favorite processed foods!Grower Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561476915875077550noreply@blogger.com
