Prunus virginiana (Chokecherry) (2 gal)
Chokecherry is a beautiful and small tree or shrub that is prized for its ornamental value and its edible fruit. In mid-spring, Chokecherry produces a profusion of fragrant white flowers on an elongated spike, creating a terrific floral display and attracting many butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Flowers turn to dark red to black pea-sized berries in late summer, attracting many birds. The berries are tart but edible and are often used to make jams, jellies, and pies.
The plant can grows as large as 30 feet x 20 feet at maturity, though it tends to be shorter, with a multi-stemmed, spreading habit. The foliage is dark green above and gray-green below, turning to a brilliant golden-yellow and orange in the fall, providing stunning autumn color in the garden.
This small tree is a no-fuss plant that prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, though it will flower/produce fruit best in full sun. It is also tolerant of a wide range of soil types and is highly drought-resistant once established, making it an excellent choice for gardens in hot and dry regions. It’s highly resistant to pests and diseases, making it a great choice for low-maintenance gardens. Trim suckers to prevent undesired spread.
