Aronia prunifolia 'Nero' can be considered a plant with a double role - both decorative in the arrangement of gardens, and of interest due to the fruits rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants. The plant grows in the form of a bushy shrub, strongly branched, with dark green leaves, which turn red-orange towards the winter.

Flowering takes place in May, the flowers are strongly scented, and the fruits can be harvested in August-September. The fruits left unpicked do not fall and keep well for a long time.
