The Cottage Smallholder

Recently discovered Aronia which is meant to be a superfood and is popular in Eastern Europe and in the States as it's got 3x more antioxidants than Blueberry. Got my plant off Cooltemperate (in Nottingham) for about £8 and am keen to find out how it'll fare for me. It doesn't require acidic soil and it's meant to be v hardy. The foilage is quite pretty, small reddish tinge to them and they're budding already.. Apparently, you can't eat them fresh as they're v tart, but mixed with other fruits, i'd hope that'll they'll taste nice. If not, then they'll have to be cooked..

If anyone's growing this already, I'll be v interested how they grow in the UK and what they taste like..

thanks in advance..
