Black Chokeberry Viking
Aronia melanocarpa 'viking'
TOP SELLER!!
Considered one of the best of the black chokeberries. Attractive dark
glossy leaves and superb autumn hues make this one a real winner! Flowers
bloom earlier than other varieties. Large attractive black fruit will
persist until spring if the birds don't get them first. Developed in
Europe as an orchard plant. High in vitamins.
Edible fruit! FIRST CHOICE AWARD
1994
Fast-growing shrub does fine in wet or dry soil, in sun or partial shade,
even in poor soils. Shorter and more compact than the standard.
Appearance: Vase shaped shrub, branching from the base, 3-5 ft in height, with
touches of red in every season including; white flowers with red stamens in
spring, orange/red fall foliage and clusters of glossy black berries in fall and winter.
Heavy, concentrated fruit set and a compact habit make this a
multi-use shrub. Decorative and edible!
Landscape use: Naturalizing, border shrub, edible landscape, or erosion control.
MAKES AN EXCELLENT HEDGE!
The berries are eaten by Humans, cedar waxwings, chickadees, grouse,
catbirds, eastern meadowlarks and other critters.
