Grow Tips: Aronia is one of the toughest, most durable shrubs, and needs little care. If you wish to prune, the best time is immediately after it blooms. However, be aware that this will remove the potential for any fruit to form. Wondering about deer resistance? It varies. We have found that in areas with heavy deer or rabbit activity, they may eat the flower buds in early spring when food supplies are scarce. However, they do not typically continue browsing Aronia after that, so are unlikely to cause severe or disfiguring damage to the plant itself.
