Glad that I found this thread.. was gonna go looking around here to see what people suggest for a Canadian red chokecherry growing a MASSIVE amounts of "trunks" at the base. I call it "shrubbin' out". Took out quite a few "trunks" yesterday, probably 20 or so, and some of them were about 12' tall! Other than that, I love this "tree". The leaves are a beautiful red all year, the flowers are very long-lasting and smell SOOO wonderful.. grows quickly for shade, but it's just the "shrubbin' out" part that I don't like! I wonder if I put some paint or something on the bottom where I cut off the extra trunks if that'd help?
