Canada Red Chokecherry is a versatile and eye-catching tree known for its rich purple foliage and fragrant spring blooms. In mid-spring, clusters of white flowers hang gracefully from the branches, creating a beautiful display. As the season progresses, the leaves shift from green to deep purple, then turn brilliant red in fall, offering multi-season color and interest.
In summer, this tree produces small red fruits with purple tones that can be used for baking, preserves, sauces, and more. Canada Red Chokecherry thrives in full sun with moist, well-drained soil and can be grown as a small tree or large shrub. Hardy and adaptable, it’s a great choice for adding both ornamental beauty and edible value to your landscape.
