Sea Buckthorn vs Aronia BerryHippophae rhamnoides l. Aronia melanocarpa SOLD OUT (new stock expected: fall of 2019) SOLD OUT 
Sea Buckthorn is a nitrogen fixing shrub that produces attractive berries high in vitamin C.
Aronia Berry is native to Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States. This branching shrub forms well rooted clumps that can spread. Flowers are usually white (or pink) and they produce black fruit that some people find too astringent, hence they are also known as Black Chokeberry. People who like the taste and not the astringent tannins often blend the berries or juice in with other things. SEA BUCKTHORN QUICK FACTSARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTS
