- An attractive deciduous shrub with a spectacular spring blossom display, vibrant red autumn colour and plenty of fruit for the birds (unless you make it into jam)
- Chokeberry gets its name from the astringency of the fruits which are inedible when raw, but can be used to make wine, jam, syrup, juice, soft spreads, tea and tinctures. If you leave them on the tree, they'll be happily eaten by birds, who don't taste astringency. 'Viking' has been specially bred for larger fruit suitable for jam-making - because they are self-fertile only one plant is needed to produce fruit
- The plant blossoms in late spring with large clusters of pink-tinged white flowers followed by berries in summer and into autumn, when the leaves turn from a dark matt green to a deep purple-red
- Naturally compact, growing to just 2m tall and can be pruned to fit any space
- Chokeberries are naturally understory and woodland edge plants, and grow well when planted under trees. They're very versatile and can be used in a wildlife or cottage garden or as wildlife friendly hedges
- These low maintenance plants are resistant to drought, insects, pollution, and disease
