Red Currant vs Viking Aronia BerryRibes rubrum Aronia melanocarpa Viking SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Red Currant is a deciduous shrub native to western Europe. It features five-lobed, maple-like leaves, and bright red berries that can be used in jams, sauces, and fresh eating.
Viking Aronia Berry is easy to grow, with black berries that are high in antioxidants. The Viking variety is much more productive than the non cultivar Aronia Berry. The berries can be eaten fresh but are found to be tart and bitter. They are more often used in baking, jams, juices, and wine. They have small, white flowers with a hint of pink that grow evenly on the shrub. The summer foliage turns a very attractive red in the fall. RED CURRANT QUICK FACTSVIKING ARONIA BERRY QUICK FACTS
