The Chokeberry


The Chokeberry is in bloom. I planted this one last spring. It has done quite well in the front yard. This is a really nice little shrub. It gets to leaf out and bloom ahead of the larger oak and maple that frame it and shade it through the summer. The chokeberry kind of leads the pack, easing the wait for spring leaves. The birds like the berries through the winter, too.
