Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) is a hardy shrub with edible dark berries. The astringent fruit is usually processed into wine, jam, syrup, juice, tea, sauces, or preserves rather than eaten fresh.
These seeds were collected locally in Manitoba. Black Chokeberry can also be used as a compatible rootstock for pear grafting.
Soaking the seed for 24 hours before cold stratification helps soften the seed coat.

In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
