The Canada Red Chokecherry is a small tree with brightly colored leaves that are red-purple throughout summer and fall. It grows to around 25 feet tall, with a rounded crown and one or several main stems. The leaves are green when new and turn red as they mature. In spring it is decorated by hanging bunches of small white flowers, followed by clusters of purple-black fruits that are attractive to birds. The fruit also makes healthy juices and preserves. This tough tree is perfect for difficult locations, thriving at low temperatures and in heat and drought.

  • Handsome small tree with red-purple leaves all summer
  • Cascading bunches of white flowers in spring
  • Crop of purple-black fruits in late summer or fall
  • Extremely cold resistant and hardy everywhere
  • Fruit is a source of anthocyanins for health

Full sun will give the best leaf color and fruit crops with the Canada Red Chokecherry, although it will tolerate some partial shade. It is hardy everywhere, from zone 2 to zone 10. It grows in all kinds of soils, including rough urban conditions, dry soils, and clays. Avoid sites that are regularly flooded. It generally has no serious pests or diseases, and once established it is drought resistant, thriving with virtually no care.
