McKenzie Aronia Berry Bareroot
Species:Ā Aronia melanocarpa
History:Ā McKenzie was created by the USDA who, in 1976, planted several seedlings of the variety to evaluateĀ its performance. It was named 'McKenzie' in honour of its first planting site in North Dakota, possibly named after McKenzie County specifically. The variety was officially released in 2008.
Why We Grow It:Ā McKenzie boasts vigorous growth and good production, reliably producing firm blue-black fruit that is tart with an earthy taste. The berry clusters are easy to pick and have a wide range of uses! While the berries ripen in August, they can hang onto the bush for a couple months and tend to sweeten over time.
