[ Black Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana var. melanocarpa Canada Red) | Posted on November 21, 2018 ]

Chokecherries (including the original 'Schubert') sucker profusely and can become a gigantic shrub-like tree. Someone then decided to graft 'Schubert' onto a rootstock that didn't sucker at all and helped the tree grow in a neater fashion. They then began selling the grafted plants as 'Canada Red' and because of how the rootstock changed how the tree grew, many people thought it was an entirely new cultivar. Nowadays, many nurseries now sell the tree as "Canada Red Chokecherry" with 'Schubert' being given as the cultivar name along with the tree's Latin name (I know this because I used to work at a nursery that carried plenty of this tree).

Also, the leaf color of this cultivar surprisingly comes true from seed.
