Aristotelia chilensis

The Chilean Wineberry, or Maqui, is a large shrub or small tree native to the Valdivian rainforests of Chile and adjacent southern Argentina. Typically growing up to 15 feet in height, the Chilean Wineberry will naturally produce numerous thin trunks, creating a unique, lofty appearance. Trees are fast growing, evergreen and cold hardy and make a great addition to both formal gardens and edible landscapes.

Being hailed as a so-called ‘super food’, the fruits of the Chilean Wineberry are high in anthocyanins and other antioxidants. While the berries are small, the trees produces them in abundance and they are often used to create juices, jams and wines. This is a rare plant that is hard to find in the nursery trade and our plants in particular are a known self-fertile, productive variety.

Cold hardy to USDA zone 8a, or 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
