I got 2 plants from Hidden Springs. One of
them bloomed the next year, though I got no crop (2007 freeze). This the
2nd year I got a few berries. I put them into some apple wine, but also
put some in my mouth. I just pressed the juice out of them with my tongue,
and they had a nice but elusive flavor. Reminded me a little bit of wild
black cherry. I am thinking of putting in more. When I asked people
familiar with the jellies Hector's wife makes, some said Aronia was their
favorite, others liked it mixed with other flavors. No one said they
disliked it. The bush is quite attractive, with shiny leaves.
The berries are large enough to be worth picking, which I am sure is important
to Jim. Donna
