Product description
Viking Chokeberry is a robust shrub that offers year-round interest with its seasonal foliage and edible berries. In spring, it produces clusters of white flowers that attract pollinators. These flowers turn into glossy black berries by late summer, which are rich in antioxidants and ideal for making preserves and juices. The foliage transforms into a striking orange-red in autumn.
This shrub can grow up to 300cm tall and wide, making it suitable for hedges, screens, or as a focal point in the garden. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Regular watering, especially during dry conditions, helps maintain its vigor and berry production. Viking Chokeberry's combination of beauty and functionality makes it an excellent choice for any landscape.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Harvested chokeberries can be frozen to use throughout the year.
How to Water
Water regularly for the first year until the roots are fully settled in. Drought tolerant once established.
How to Plant
Grow chokeberries in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil. Dig a hole around twice as wide as the nursery pot and position the plant so the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill the hole with soil and compost, gently firm down, and water in well.
