Red Osier Dogwood vs Robert Chokecherry
Cornus sericea
Prunus virginiana Robert
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Red Osier Dogwood is a small deciduous shrub that features deep red stems and twigs year-round, with creamy white flowers in the spring. This shrub will add a nice pop of color to your yard.
Red Osier Dogwood is an excellent soil stabilizer. It is fast growing and becomes drought tolerant once well established.
Developed in Barrhead, Alberta, the Robert Chokecherry produces very large berries (comparable to the size of grapes) with good yield.
The berries can be used for wine, jams, jellies and fresh picking, making it one of the sweeter chokecherries. Rich, red foliage make it a striking landscape addition.
