Aronia melanocarpa4-6' × same. Introduced in Sweden.
Upright vigorous high-yielding shrub produces very large dark tasty berries. Genetic testing has shown Viking to be a cross of A. melanocarpa and European Mountain Ash (Sorbus aucuparia). Plants grown from seed come true to type. Please note: We are offering both true Viking Black plants clonally propagated from cuttings (A) and genetically unique Viking Black seedlings, which come relatively true to type (B)."
