Amur Chokecherry
With a fine rounded habit, it can grow to 35' or 45' in height. The foliage is a nice clean green. Small white, five-petaled flowers produced on last year's growth cover the tree in early to mid-May. The fruits, which are actually drupes that are inedible and not particularly showy, start out red and mature to black in the fall. Autumn color is yellow. The bark is quite handsome -- it is a glossy burnt sienna with a hint of olive on some branches, and it exfoliates in long strips. One of the hardiest cherries on the market, the Amur chokecherry is a lesser-known and grown flowering tree with four seasons of interest in the garden. Look at that bark!
