Multi-Stemmed Red Canada Chokecherry Tree, Ball and Burlap

Very hardy red-leafed variety of our native chokecherry. Drooping cylindrical creamy-white flower clusters in spring. 1/4-3/8” red to purple-black fruit is useful for jellies, syrup, juice and wine (with lots of added sugar).  Edible ¼” fruits ripen from red to dark purple; excellent bird food.  New foliage is bright shiny green, turning maroon-red with maturity.
New growth throughout summer provides a handsome two-color contrast. Fall foliage is red to reddish-purple.  Tends to sucker. Drought tolerant once established. Fruit attracts birds in summer. Very uniform growing small ornamental tree.  Moderate to fast growth rate (24-36” per year once established). Note: Chokecherries are toxic to livestock.
