✅ One Chokecherry plant (Prunus virginiana), 2-3 year old and 24-36 inches tall, sent bare-root with roots protected in moist material during dormancy (October-April). After dormancy ends in April, plants are potted in soil and sent in containers. This native species displays drooping flower clusters in late spring and broad, egg-shaped leaves, with berry color varying from dark red to black among seedlings.
✅ Hardy in zones 2-10, this member of the rose family has been cultivated since colonial times and serves as an important food source for birds. While wild fruits possess a strong astringent quality, selected varieties offer more pleasant flavor. The plant supports various wildlife, including Eastern tent caterpillars, and adapts well to naturalized settings.
✅ Orders are prepared for mailing at the beginning of each week, with spring orders processed more frequently. Each plant is carefully packaged and sent with tracking for domestic orders within the United States. Also known by many regional names including wild cherry and chokeberry, this versatile species has historical significance for Indigenous communities.
✅ Your order will arrive in good condition. If any issues occur upon receiving order, contact us the same day with a detailed description and photos so we can assist you. This item can not be sent to state of Vermont due to states policy.
