Description
These plants begin as numerous flat white flowers with five petals and bright red anthers in the spring. Their foliage turns to a dark glossy green throughout the summer, which gives way to deep reddish-orange in the fall. Red, pear-shaped berries also appear in the fall. This plant's reddish-brown bark and bright red berries add color to the winter's snowy landscape throughout December and January.
Red Chokeberry shrubs grow in colonies that can become quite large.
While the berries last through winter, they do not seem to be a staple to much wildlife. They are only occasionally eaten by songbirds, game birds, and reportedly by bears.
These plants are commercially or propagated by softwood cuttings or seeds; Hormone treatments are not needed for softwood cuttings to root. The sources will be removed and collected from the ripened fruit in mid-autumn. Although, the fruits can be allowed to dry with the seeds inside.
The Red Chokeberry plants use a high water volume, and they need plenty of sunlight to grow to their full potential. They grow best in moist, rich soils with an acidic PH of less than 6.8. These plants bloom their many white flowers early and bear fruit throughout the fall and winter months. They keep their dense foliage throughout the spring and summer months.
