Overview
Schubert does everything common chokecherry does, with leaves that open green and turn purple by midsummer.
Origin & History
Schubert was found in a North Dakota nursery in the 1940s. These are grown from Schubert seed, so most plants color purple by midsummer and some stay green.
Fruit & Uses
The same dark cherries for syrup and jelly, the same wildlife value, and the same caution about wilted leaves and livestock.
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, a bundle of 20 covers 80 to 120 ft.
Pollination
Bee-pollinated and partly self-fertile.
Cold hardiness
We rate Schubert 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 state quarantine that bans importing, moving and selling it. Check your own state and county list before planting.
