About Aronia prunifolia ‘Viking’ (black chokeberry)

‘Viking’ grows into a medium-sized, well-branched shrub with a height of about 1.5 to 2 metres. It flowers in May with small, pale pink to white flowers. After flowering, the dark berries appear and ripen in late summer.

In autumn, the leaves turn to a combination of yellow, red and purple, making the shrub attractive beyond the harvest period. Aronia ‘Viking’ is self-pollinating and therefore also produces fruit without other varieties around.

Location and care

Aronia prunifolia grows best in a sunny to semi-shaded spot in well-drained soil. Overly heavy soils, such as compact clay or loess, are less well tolerated. In spring, maintenance pruning can be carried out by removing older or dried-out branches to give new shoots sufficient space.
