Fruit shrubs are species with moderate environmental factors requirements; therefore behave very well in Romania. These shrubs are growing easily and yield fruits quickly, and the obtained fruits have high nutritious, economical and therapeutic value. The measurements applied in this study enable better understanding of species and varieties in terms of organic farming and productivity testing that support the promotion of these species (Aronia melanocarpa) as suitable for orchards. The species is well suited for organic breeding, the success of dry cuttings being 80.5%, whereas the percentage of seed germination is 90-100% successful.
