Description

Black Autumn Magic Chokeberry

General Information

‘The glossy, dark green leaves of the Black Autumn Magic Chokeberry provide a good backdrop for the mounds of white flower clusters that appear in spring. The flowers give way to edible, dark blue-black fruits. The fruits are excellent for making jams and jellies. If not picked, the fruits will persist into winter.  ‘Autumn Magic’ descibes well the colorful mixture of reds and purples in the fall.   Autumn Magic is self-fertile, so it will flower with only one. Excellent for a mixed border or hedge row. Excellent ornamental qualities and great for healthy eating, too!  Plant in mass for the best spring show!
