Canada Red chokecherry (Prunus virginiana 'Canada Red') is a deciduous tree selected for its changing foliage. Leaves emerge green and develop dark reddish-purple color by early summer, while new shoots and root suckers can remain green. Its upright, oval crown works as a foliage accent or specimen in a spacious yard. The cultivar is hardy to USDA Zone 2 and grows in full sun or partial shade. White flowers appear in spring, followed by fruit that can support birds and other wildlife.

## Maintenance
Water regularly during establishment, then adjust irrigation to local soil and rainfall. Prune to maintain a strong crown and remove unwanted suckers. Give the tree space for its mature spread.
