Canada Red Chokecherry (Prunus
virginiana) Hardy, pyramidal tree. White flowers borne in a raceme
appear in April and May. Attractive, dense foliage emerges green
then changes to red as the leaves mature and then turns
reddish-purple in the fall. Flowers are followed by edible 1/3"
reddish purple fruit that can be used for jam, jelly, pies, sauce
and wine. Fruit also attracts birds. Prefers good drainage and
aerated conditions. Matures at 20 to 30' with 15 to 25' spread.
Needs full sunlight. This plant does sucker freely in the landscape
and should not be considered maintenance free. Extremely hardy.
Multi-stem grown with three or more stems. |
