1 Bare Root Chokecherry Plant 24 Inch Tall Prunus virginiana 2-3 Year Old Live Tree

Chokecherry is a hardy North American native shrub or small tree valued for its clusters of fragrant white spring blooms, glossy green foliage, and abundant small dark red to black fruit. It is a versatile and attractive addition to naturalized areas, hedgerows, and home landscapes, offering multi-season interest and dependable cold hardiness.

Chokecherry works well as a flowering ornamental, a wildlife-friendly border planting, and a productive fruit producer for jams, jellies, syrups, and wines. It is a naturally suckering species that forms dense thickets over time, making it useful for erosion control and windbreaks. Grow it as a specimen small tree or allow it to spread as a naturalized thicket where space allows. Fruit ripens in late summer and is best harvested when fully dark and ripe. This listing ships as a dormant bare root plant approximately 24 inches tall, 2 to 3 years old. Planting during dormancy in cool conditions helps support strong establishment.
