Thanks to its dwarf habit, you'll rarely need to prune Ground Hog Aronia. If you do need to trim it or cut it back, do so after blooming. However, this will remove the potential for the fruit to form. Though it grows well in shaded conditions, the best flowering and fall color will develop with some sun each day.
