aronia fail

Here are some Aronia shrubs that have been failing since they were planted. A beautiful shrub native to Ohio (usually called chokeberry) that was planted in a parking lot. This plant can be found in low areas and likes moist ground. So why is it here, in one of the driest microclimates imagineable? An irresponsible waste of resourses that will only cost more money shortly. Far too often a plant that is actually native is planted in a location that very plant is NOT native to. Just because a plant is native to Ohio doesn't mean that it can be planted anywhere someone wants native plants. This is a complete shame regardless, especially since Aronia is becoming popular for its berry's juice. Also a great example of the more the merrier when it comes to fruit production. Dead leaves on the same stem as fruit?
