Aronia x prunifolia 'Viking' (syn. Black Chokeberry)

With three times the level of antioxidants found in blueberries and high in vitamin C, this is thought to be the healthiest fruit in the world. The berries are too sharp to be eaten raw but are ideal for sauces in summer puddings or blended into juices and smoothies. The plants are very hardy, easy to grow and will do best in moist, fertile soils in sun or partial shade.


Pollination: Self-fertile.


Season: late August - September.

With three times the level of antioxidants found in blueberries and high in vitamin C, the aronia berry is thought to be the healthiest fruit in the world.
