Prunus virginiana
Canadian red cherry is a small tree sometimes grown as a tall shrub
that is renowned for its succulent chokecherries. The deciduous tree
grows up to 25 feet tall and features a vase-like form. Grown
successfully in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 8, the attractive tree is a
suitable choice for small gardens or areas where space is limited. The
easy-to-grow tree livens up the landscape with its showy form and
dense clusters of white flowers in spring.The new growth emerges as
bright green then hardens off to dark purple and holds this beautiful
color until late fall.
