Chokecherry - Bare Root Tree
6-12” Bare Root Tree
(Prunus virginiana)
This native tree or large shrub produces large clusters of edible berries, that while slightly astringent (hence the name) can be used in jellies and preserves. Blooming in late Spring, the flowers attract loads of flies, bees, and other pollinators. Birds also love the fruits and spread these trees far and wide, most often along fences or other barriers. Chokecherry is very adaptable to different types of habitat and is well worth growing even if you never intend to eat the fruit.
Hardiness: Zone 2-7
Soil: Dry to moist
Light: Full sun to mostly shade
