We don't get nearly the yields that I've read are possible from cultivated aronia bushes. We usually get 2-3 lbs per bush and the bushes are 3-6 years old. I have read that they are able to produce up to 20lbs under ideal conditions. Has anyone achieved something along these lines?
I have two Aronia bushed from Hidden Springs Nursery about 10 years old. They bear heavy crops every year. About three years back I picked over 5 gallon for a winery. Didn't weigh the berries.
I do eat a few hands full fresh from the bush. I spit out the pulp, swallow the juice. But I wouldn't set down to a bowel full!
