A celebration in color and texture, Brilliantissima has a different feature for each season. In late spring, it's thick with white (or sometimes pink) flowers. They're followed by glossy red berries, which are larger and in higher abundance than traditional chokeberries produce. In fall, the leaves turn brilliant red, which looks amazing below colorful fall trees and brightens up landscapes that need a little autumn flair. Brilliantissima is more compact, growing up to 6-8' in maturity and spreading around 3-4'. It's a gorgeous focal point, and it spices up a hedgerow. Aronia arbutifolia 'Brilliantissima'
