Valentine Cherry vs Boughens Golden ChokecherryPrunus x kerrasis Valentine Prunus virginiana Boughens Golden SOLD OUT SOLD OUT Valentine Cherry is a hardy deciduous shrub and hybrid variety of the University of Saskatchewan Sour Cherry released in the Romance Series of dwarf sour cherries in 2004. This medium-sized self-pollinator produces tart, bright red fruits in large clusters in late summer that are perfect for jams, pies and jellies. Valentine Cherry is ideal as a landscape or orchard tree.
Boughen's Golden Chokecherry typically grows into a shrub form with yellow fruit and beautiful green foliage. This type of chokecherry is particularly sweet because it is non-astringent, meaning that it does not produce tannins. Tannins are what create the puckering, or sour taste when eating something unripe. VALENTINE CHERRY QUICK FACTSBOUGHENS GOLDEN CHOKECHERRY QUICK FACTS
