Description
The Aronia melanocarpa Revontuli Mound is a particularly compact form of black-fruited Aronia that allows you to enjoy this bush full of advantages even in gardens where space is limited. The plant forms a small mound wider than it is tall, adorned with white, decorative, and honey-bearing spring blooms, then with black and edible berries with a flavour and appearance resembling blackcurrants. It is at the end of the season that one will appreciate the most this Aronia adorned with beautiful autumn colours and loaded with small black berries. Its cultivation presents no difficulty in ordinary soil, in a sunny exposure to accentuate its colours.
Native to Canada and the northeastern United States, the Aronia melanocarpa is a distant cousin of roses, plum trees, and brambles, a member of the vast rose family. 'Revontuli Mound' is a recent horticultural variety obtained in the USA by Proven Winners. Very cold-resistant, this bush, reaches an average height of 50 cm (19.7 in) with a spread of 75 cm (29.5 in). It has a slow growth and has a low, spreading, well-branched habit. Its bark is smooth, reddish-brown. It bears beautiful deciduous foliage. Its alternating leaves are simple, ovate, finely indented, about 4-5 cm (1.6-2 in) long, of a dark green satin colour. They truly blaze in autumn before falling, adopting different shades of orange, copper, crimson red, and violet. In April-May, white flowers with pink stamens appear, measuring 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter. Gathered in corymbs, they are very numerous, slightly fragrant and honey-bearing. They give way to clusters of round berries of a greeni-purple colour that become black-purple and shiny while their peduncles turn red. This edible fruit with a slightly tart flavour persists quite a long time in winter if not consumed by birds.
Naturally very resistant to diseases and parasites, Aronia melanocarpa Revontuli Mound Proven Winners is a small bush that is both hardy, favourable to biodiversity, compact, and undemanding. It easily fits into shrub and perennial borders, or even in a pot on the terrace. To achieve a mass effect, plant it in groups of 3 to 5 shrubs. This Aronia can be combined with other flowering and fruit-bearing shrubs, for example, with hedge honeysuckles, Goumi du Japon, May berries, raspberries, Goji, and other blueberries.
The Aronia fruits can be consumed fresh, cooked, as jam, or as juice that can be mixed, for example, with cranberry and apple juice.

Planting and care
The Aronia melanocarpa Revontuli Mound Proven Winners is preferably planted in early spring or early autumn in any well-prepared and loosened garden soil. While it is very tolerant, it prefers deep, moist, not too heavy, and slightly acidic soil. Its root system is quite shallow, so it is advisable to dig a wide planting hole to help it establish more quickly. Plant it in a sunny but not scorching, or a semi-shaded location. In shade and slightly calcareous soil, its colours will be more muted. The hardiness of this Canadian bush is excellent, even in wet soil. Mulch and water well during the first two summers, especially in dry and hot weather. Prune all branches to half their length at the end of winter. It is naturally highly resistant to diseases and parasites.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
