Here is a photo of a Shubert Chokecherry, also known as Canada Red Chokecherry....
I am really excited about this tree, we bought one about7 years ago, I took some suckers off the base of the tree and tried to root it...this is one of the 5 trees that rooted. It leafs out green and by June the leaves are a dark Burgundy color.
They root extremely easy, grow ever so fast and this year they bloomed forthe first time.
People say the fruit is just like the wild Chokecherries...time will tell. The trees are susceptible to a fungus, trim it off and you'll have a beautiful tree.
If we are lucky enough to have them bare fruit we will mix it with the wild Chokecherries for what is the best fruit wine we make.
