Dazzling with very fragrant white flowers in spring, chokecherry also produces dark red berries and a pretty fall foliage display in autumn. Native to central North America, this deciduous large shrub to small tree typically suckers to form a thicket. An individual tree's canopy is typically pyramid-like, with a smooth to slightly platy gray-brown bark. If its twigs are broken, they may emit a somewhat unpleasant odor. Glossy green to dark green leaves emerge in spring, unfurling to become broad ovals with very tiny teeth on their edges. By late spring many small, fragrant white flowers open on dangling spikes, called racemes, and are pollinated by bees. In late summer the small round red fruits develop, darkening to red or black when fully ripe. These have an astringent flavor which gives the plant its common name. Fall foliage color ranges from shades of pale yellow to orange and bright red.
Chokecherry grows in a wide variety of exposures, from full sun to a fair amount of shade, and grows vigorously in deep, fertile soils. Wildlife friendly and highly ornamental, it makes a great windbreak or buffer plant on edges of properties. The fruits are eaten by many animals and are also edible to humans, sometimes used to make a delicious sweet preserve. (source: learn2grow)
