I wish you were closer to the mic. Otherwise, good video. We are leaving part of this year's crop on the bush until the first frost. Allegedly they improve flavor wise. The rest we dried. Been eating a few each day. Still a bit stringent, but flavorful.
Yes I just both a juice with Aromia called SUPER Juice, had a super prize too. I remember aronia used to be a really big deal a long time ago and I have not herd much of it since maybe 20 years or so ... interesting this plant got more attention now.
Thanks for your video. Do you happen to know just how thick aronia trunks can get? Clearly they are multi-stem, but wondering if you grow a single stem, what is the maximum thickness you could get.
Hi, I just 'discovered' you. Got a question. I have several Aronia melanocarpa plants that I grew from seed. They are single-stemmed at this point and tall and leggy and skinny, a few leaves at the very top. They are two years old. There is no sign of sprouts coming from the roots. Should I prune the single stem now or wait until they get bigger/older? Thanks!!!!
If you are in zone 6 or warmer they are likely leafing out by now. You could prune them now, but the best time to prune them is before new growth starts.
Soil mixtures for me vary depending on time of year and availability. Right now I'm having to buy commercially because I'm using so much. Later in they year I will use my own compost.
hmm what strains do you have? I'd like to learn about new ones. I really liked Viking, but I've only ever tried Nero besides. I love idea of trying seedlings from a new variety!
@@devrekaronya Wow, that is a lot! I'm afraid I'm unable to assist as I am not certified organically. I only use compost, mulch, and leaf litter - no chemicals - but I'm not certified as that is expensive.
They taste awful it has to be the worst tasting fruit i have ever tasted,i had a bush it grows very easy and produces berries but they are awful, i pulled my bush out .
the taste is similar to a young red wine that needs more aging, it is the result of high amounts of Tannin, part of a large family of antioxidents. It makes a wonderful jam or pie filling due to the sugar masking the tannin, also can be mixed with other juices, I will make some wine from it next fall. My main reason for planting it is variety in my berry orchard, confusing damaging insects. Some of the berries I grow would get a similar response from people also. I grow my berries to be in harmony with climate and soil type, more for the nutritional value than pure taste. Aronia is actually better known as chokeberry, growing wild east of the Mississippi. Chokecherry on the other hand, having a stone, but the same colour and taste, grows wild west of the Mississippi. You can't always judge a book by it's cover.
Köszönjük!
You answered every question I had about propagating Adonis melancarpa. Thanks so much!!
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Do they not make SUPER juice now?

I'm really not sure as I've never tried that before. my largest right now is about as big around as my wrist.
@@greatescapefarms Thank you! That's actually larger than I'd imagined.
@@lefthandluke8923 You are welcome!

Now can I do this experiment, fall.
Aronia can be propagated via hardwood cuttings in the fall/winter.
🙏
Is this done in summer after berries are all gone?
It can be done any time after about mid to late June in my area (mid-Atalntic zone 7). Doesn't matter if berries are there or not.
What kind of soil mixture were you using there ?
Soil mixtures for me vary depending on time of year and availability. Right now I'm having to buy commercially because I'm using so much. Later in they year I will use my own compost.
where can we purchase this fruits?
I'm pretty sure they sell it dried on Amazon. I'd bet that they sell it at some health food stores as well.
How do plant/maintain aronia berries without them spreading? Even in clay soil with good soil structure?
I have not had any issue with spreading. Have you?
@@greatescapefarms I'm not growing any now but I like to though.😢
We've had a bush in the ground for about 6 years now, no major spreading, only slightly at the base, close to the stem.
Hello
Thank you for this video. I need to propagate my the best aronia, viking is not the best in my opinion. I made a short video about that. Blessings.
What do you consider the best?
hmm what strains do you have? I'd like to learn about new ones. I really liked Viking, but I've only ever tried Nero besides. I love idea of trying seedlings from a new variety!
I know of McKinzie and Viking. What variety do you consider the best - one of these or another?
@@geomundi8333 how is nero?
Merhaba. Aronia fidanından nasıl çoğaltabiliriz. 350 fidanım var ve bunları cogaltma yontemini bana türkçe olarak mesaj atabilirmisiniz. Türkiye. 😊
Sorry, I don't comprehend.

@@greatescapefarms Thank you. I established 6000 plantations of aronia garden.What are your recommendations for organic production?

many of these state not to use on fruiting plants for consumption
These what?

you are being to kind ,now i know why they call it choke berry!@@dieterditrich7520
What a shame! The Berries are not meant ot be eaten pure.. they make a good adding to all sorts of meals…They are also often used to dye Food.
@@eQui253 Why grow them when you can grow a delious blue berry instead.
@@roccoconte2960 Good point, but why don't grow both?
