Prunus Virginiana, Canadian Red Select, Chokecherry (tree form) (Bare root) 1 and 1/4" Size
The Canadian Red Select Chokecherry in tree form is a small, deciduous tree known for its vibrant spring flowers and showy red berries. In early spring, the tree is adorned with clusters of white, fragrant flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These blossoms give way to dark red to blackish-purple berries that persist through summer and into fall, providing food for birds and wildlife. The tree has lustrous green foliage that turns a vibrant yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest. This variety is also valued for its compact size and hardiness.
Mature Height:
Typically reaches a mature height of 12-20 feet.
Spacing:
Spacing of 10-12 feet between trees is recommended to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
Interesting Information:
Canadian Red Select is known for its improved disease resistance, particularly to common chokecherry issues such as Black Knot and Cytospora canker.
The red berries are not typically eaten fresh due to their tartness, but they can be used for making jellies, jams, and wine.
This tree is cold-hardy and drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for tough growing conditions.
Canadian Red Select also has attractive bark that adds winter interest when the leaves have fallen.
The tree can be used as a specimen in landscapes, for hedging, or as a wildlife tree due to its berries.
Grow Zone:
Zones 2-7, making it ideal for cold climates and adaptable to a wide range of environments.
