Growing
Aronia mitschurinii prefers sunny locations with well-drained soils that can be sandy, loamy, or clayey. The soil should be moderately nutrient-rich and slightly acidic to neutral in pH. The plant requires regular watering during the first year but is relatively drought-resistant thereafter. Propagation is done by seeds with cold stratification or by cuttings. Pruning in late winter promotes fruit production and maintains plant health.
