Western Chokecherry vs Japanese QuincePrunus virginiana var. demissa Chaenomeles japonica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Western Chokecherry is a shrub or small tree commonly used for farmstead and field windbreaks.
Japanese Quince has bright, orange to red showy flowers that bloom in early spring. The flowers appear before the leaves and may continue to bloom after leaves emerge. Flowers grow on old wood, so pruning after flowering will help to promote new growth next spring. They produce yellow-green fruit that taste bitter when eaten raw, typically they are better suited for making preserves. WESTERN CHOKECHERRY QUICK FACTSJAPANESE QUINCE QUICK FACTS
