Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Chokeberry tolerates a wide range of soils and conditions including boggy. Will grow in full sun to partial shade, although best fruit production usually occurs in full sun. Remove root suckers to prevent colonial spread.

Additional Notes about Black Chokeberry:


 'Viking' is a selection of the species that was found to flower somewhat later, and to produce larger berries than the species.

Cultivars of Aronia melanocarpa are being grown as berry crops for their antioxidant properties.
