Prunus virginiana ‘Schubert’ - Schubert Chokecherry or Canada Red Cherry

Similar to Common Chokecherry, except produces bright glossy green leaves in spring and as
leaves harden off in mid-season, they turn to reddish-purple and remain this color until the leaves fall
off. Also, less tendency to sucker if grafted on May Day tree rootstocks or plants rooted from cuttings.
