Bill,
    I, going to have to side with the folks who say that Aronia will grow 
well anywhere.  I have two plantings one in sand @ pH 6.5 and another in 
black dirt @ pH 7.3.  Both have proven to be drought tolerant.  One gets 
full sun - the other gets morning sun.  BTW, I got my first 8 plants from 
Hartmann Plant Company.

Note that I also heard different things about Aronia's requirements. One
place said it required "a damp, acid soil" - another that it would grow
well anywhere. I also heard that it would tolerate partial shade,... and
that it wouldn't. Like everything else on the Internet, it's hard to
know who to believe. (I definitely trust this list much more!)
