Aronia x prunifolia 'Viking'
Choose Viking Chokeberry for a naturalized shrub mass with spring flowers, black fruit, and red fall color. The tradeoff is suckering: it fills space well, but it is not the right fit for a tight, formal bed.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives three useful seasons of interest without needing to be the main focal point. |
| Growth Rate | B | It establishes at a steady pace and gradually fills in by suckering. |
| Maintenance | C+ | Basic pruning is simple, but controlling unwanted suckers adds work in tighter beds. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | Its spreading habit makes it a better fit for open beds than small foundation pockets. |
| Screening Value | B- | It can make a useful seasonal screen, but it drops leaves and is not dense year-round. |
At PGNE, we'd typically steer Viking Chokeberry toward open shrub borders, wet edges, and naturalized plantings rather than tight front walks or formal foundation beds.
| Mature Height | 6–8 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 3–6 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 3a-8b |
| Spacing | 150 cm (about 5 ft) on center |
| Sun | Full sun to partial shade |
| Moisture | Moist but well-drained soil |
| Growth Habit | Suckering deciduous shrub |
Yes, it can sucker, which is useful for massing but annoying in tight spaces.
They are very tart, so most homeowners value them more for wildlife and ornamental fruit.
No, but remove stray suckers if you need to keep the planting contained.

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!

Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.
