Aronia is a large genus of flowering shrubs, with the Aronia species making up nearly half of the entire genus. The common name “aronia” is derived from the Greek word for leaf and is therefore literally “leafy garden”. Aronia trees are found throughout most of the world with some species more common than others. In the United States, the most common tree is the wood-stemmed Aronia gemmularis or the red maple tree with about 25% of the species in the north central and southwest parts of the United States.

A few other genera of shrubs are known, however, including the cymbidium, or better yet, the Cyperus rotundus, which grows in almost all areas of the world. So, what does Aronia have to offer? It was chosen as one of the plants to represent the “World Tree” in 2021 by the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization is affiliated with the World Wildlife Fund and aims at conserving the Earth’s ecosystems. According to its purpose, the organization feels, “All living things, including plant material, should be preserved and protected for future generations”.

Aronia leaves are broadly similar in shape, size and color to the herb cartoons. A true aronia consists of five to seven leafy stems containing two to three small flowers. Each flower has a single ovule, which eventually develops into a pod and enclosed within a thin skin. The name comes from the Greek word for “fruit” which means that the ovules contain the actual fruit of ammonia. The fruit of the plant is small, oval-shaped, leathery and dark green in color.

Aronia comes from the plant called the Aronia officinalis found in sub-tropical regions of the Mediterranean and Africa.

Aronia is a Greek genus of tropical deciduous plants, the aronia, also in the subfamily Rosaceae native to central North America and more commonly found in moist forests and swamps. The word Aronia comes from the name of the city where the genus was first recorded (aria) in the late 15th century. It was then popularly identified as Aron, meaning joy or happiness. Aronia trees are famous for their fruit. A number of species of this genus have very large and pendulous fruit baskets, which are used for jams, jellies and custards. Some trees produce jelly when ripe.

Aronia is a genus of leafy deciduous bushes, also known as chokeberries, in the mint family Rosaceae, native to eastern North America, and commonly found in damp wooded areas and swamps. The genus Aronia has been successfully hybridized, and there are now three common species in cultivation. These are more temperate to cold tolerant than their European and Asian relatives, which may account for why Aronia became so popular in the Americas.

The most familiar species in the family, which is called the Aronia officinalis or the common name Aronia rubra, is the fleshy purple fruit with red flesh that is most easily seen when the fruit is ripe. The name red chokeberry comes from the red flesh that appears at the top when the fruit is cut. The other species of the Aronia genus are the fleshless, seedless, brown-black fruits with various shades of red and black in their flesh, and the Aronia neem arbutifolia, which have a yellowish cast to its flesh. Neem has a stronger aroma than the common name. Both species belong to the mint family (Lamiaceae).
