Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Chokecherry grows best in a semi-dry fertile soil, transplanting easily, and can tolerate a wide range of soil types and conditions. Suckering freely, they will form thickets if suckers are not removed. They can be pruned or trained into a tree form, but still sucker profusely.
Note
Additional Notes
- Native to Ontario and much of North America. Although the fruits are edible, they are very sour, hence the name. The seeds contain amygdalin, a product the body converts into cyanide, a deadly poison. It would take many seeds to poison a child. All parts of the foliage are poisonous to horses, cattle, and sheep.
