Best Growing Conditions Plant Aronia melanocarpa Viking in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil, though it is tolerant of most soil types. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish strong roots. Once established, it is hardy and largely self-sufficient, requiring minimal care. Prune lightly in late winter if needed to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth.
