Viking Aronia Chokeberry is a robust, cold-hardy shrub prized for its glossy black berries, ornamental value, and adaptability. In spring, the plant produces clusters of small, white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by abundant berries that ripen in late summer to early fall. The berries are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and other health-boosting compounds, making them an excellent choice for juices, jams, syrups, and health supplements.
This variety features dark green foliage that turns vibrant shades of red and orange in the fall, adding seasonal interest to landscapes. Viking is highly tolerant of various soil types, including wet or poor soils, and thrives in full sun to partial shade.
Its upright, bushy growth habit makes it suitable for hedges, edible landscapes, or as a stand-alone ornamental shrub. Additionally, Viking Aronia is deer-resistant and requires minimal maintenance once established.
