Aronia Prunifolia Viking 12 Litre Pot 100/125cm Tall

Aronia prunifolia 'Viking', commonly known as Viking Chokeberry, is a deciduous shrub that is highly valued for its ornamental beauty and edible fruits. This versatile plant is an excellent choice for gardens in the UK due to its attractive features and low maintenance requirements. 

Here’s why Aronia prunifolia 'Viking' is a fantastic addition to any landscape:

• Lush Green Leaves: In spring and summer, 'Viking' showcases glossy, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop in the garden. The leaves are oval-shaped and have a slightly serrated edge, adding texture to the landscape. In the fall, the foliage transforms into stunning shades of red and orange, providing vibrant seasonal interest and enhancing the garden's visual appeal.
• Abundant Spring Blooms: In late spring, 'Viking' produces clusters of small, white flowers that are not only attractive but also fragrant. These flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the garden's biodiversity. The blooms contrast beautifully with the dark green leaves, creating an eye-catching display that heralds the arrival of warmer weather.
• Nutritious Fruits: After flowering, 'Viking' develops small, round berries that ripen in late summer to early fall. These dark purple to black berries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, making them a healthy addition to the garden. The berries can be enjoyed fresh, made into jams, jellies, wines, or added to smoothies, providing a delightful harvest for gardeners and a food source for birds and wildlife.
• Moderate Size: 'Viking' typically reaches a height of 1.5 to 2.5 meters

Aronia prunifolia 'Viking' thrives in various soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, as long as they are well-drained. It can tolerate slightly acidic to neutral pH levels. While it can handle some drought once established, this shrub prefers consistently moist soil, making it a suitable choice for areas with reliable moisture. The shrub's root system can help prevent soil erosion, making it beneficial for stabilizing slopes or banks.
