Schubert Chokecherry vs Common Caragana
Prunus virginiana Schubert
Caragana arborescens
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON - MIGHT RETURN
COMING SOON
(new stock expected: fall of 2026)
Schubert Chokecherry is similar to a western chokecherry but features beautiful purple-red leaves throughout the summer.
This small, flowering tree is perfectly suited as an ornamental for city yards.
The fruit from this tree is a staff favourite for jams, jellies, and wines.
Common Caragana is a fast growing shrub that's known for its exceptional hardiness and drought tolerance. Although it's most commonly planted in shelterbelts, Common Caragana is also an excellent hedge or feature shrub.
Note: in warmer areas, this species can be difficult to contain once planted. Use the right plant in the right place.
