About Chokecherry
Chokecherry is a wonderful native plant that birds absolutely love. The small white flowers bloom in spring and smell lovely, then ripen into dark purple berries that wildlife depends on for food. Butterflies visit the flowers too. It's a shrub or small tree that fits nicely into home gardens and provides real value to your local ecosystem.
Growing chokecherry is refreshingly simple. It's a hardy perennial that adapts to different soil conditions and doesn't demand fussy care. You can plant it in a sunny spot and let it settle in. Like many native plants, it's tougher than you'd expect and rewards you with years of beauty and wildlife activity. You'll enjoy watching it thrive.
