Overview
Chokecherry is Montana's own shelterbelt shrub. It suckers into a dense thicket that stops wind and snow at ground level and feeds just about every bird and mammal on the place.
Origin & History
Native across Montana and most of North America, and a staple food of the plains tribes.
Fruit & Uses
Dark, astringent cherries that make the syrup and jelly this state is known for. Wilted leaves are toxic to livestock, so fence it out of pastures.
Growth Habit
Large suckering shrub or small tree, about 15 ft tall.
Spacing
Plant 4 to 6 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 100 to 150 ft of row.
Pollination
Bee-pollinated and partly self-fertile. A row crops well.
Cold hardiness
We rate chokecherry to zone 2, winters to -50°F.
Other Notes
Chokecherry carries X-disease and black knot, so keep it well away from cherry, peach and plum orchards.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.

Shipping restrictions: We cannot ship chokecherry to Alaska, where it is under a statewide quarantine as an invasive tree and can't be brought in or sold. We do ship to Michigan, but Michigan doesn't allow chokecherry within 500 feet of a peach or cherry orchard or within 1,000 feet of peach or cherry nursery stock, because it carries X-disease. Check your own state and county list before planting.
