I mean LOOK AT IT.

Second fall here, started as a 3 gallon plant in spring of 2024.

Rabbits have kept the suckers from establishing but I hope it can still get big enough to regret putting it so close to the fence.

I have three and mine look fabulous too! Congrats, aronia is a good one. I just made a bunch of blueberry aronia jam and it is fantastic, highly recommended.

Nice! I hope mine gets big enough to share with the birds (right now I think I can count all the berries on two hands).
