The shrub is very cold hardy and may naturally enter dormancy during winter. If your plant arrives dormant with little or no foliage, this is normal for the season and it can resume growth as temperatures warm in spring. Allow plenty of room for the mature shrub to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"plantcenter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063370346817,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/0758\/0993\/files\/ListingShopify3_26_0f4e70be-989f-449b-b602-3632c55d6b62.jpg?v=1786158025","url":"https:\/\/faithfolkstudio.com\/products\/viking-aronia-berry-plant-aronia-melanocarpa-live-rooted-starter-zones-3-8-self-pollinating-fruit-shrub-edible-berries-cold-hardy","provider":"FaithFolkStudio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
