How to grow
Easy to grow, chokeberries are tolerant of a wide variety of soils and sites. Plant in wet and dry soil, full sun and part shade and even coastal locations. Prune annually to maintain a compact shape, and remove suckers to prevent unwanted spread. Fertilise each year with an application of aged compost each spring.
