Black Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana var. melanocarpa)

Black Chokecherry is a versatile, tough shrub or small tree that’s perfect for adding character to your yard while supporting local wildlife. The fruit turn deep purple-black in the fall and hang late.  Late in the season they get sweeter and we think they're quite tasty fresh off the tree.  We propagate these from seed collected from the wild stands around our nursery.
