Chokeberry

My Chokeberry arrived packaged well with planting instructions. It leafed immediately and has grown almost 12” in just a few weeks.

Red Chokeberry quick start

The chokeberry already had some small green buds when it arrived. Good size, at least 2 feet of stem above the ground line. I soaked it in a full bucket of water for 24+ hours, partly because I didn't have time when it arrive to plant. It's been a couple weeks now, and the plant is coming along nicely -- a bunch of leaves are coming out! It's our first chokeberry, so we are looking forward to trying the fruit.

So Far So Good

Plant arrived dormant. Took a couple of weeks but leaves are starting to pop. Feeling confident I got a healthy Red Chokeberry plant.

My Chokeberry is very happy - it's starting to bud. Hope it doesn't bloom too early - we're do for some freezing temperatures this week.

Anticipating spring growth

The plants arrived well packaged with clear instructions regarding planting and what to do if I couldn't plant immediately (which I couldn't). I actually wound up with two pieces of shrub rather than just one. Planted them together and I'm looking forward to seeing how they grow as spring rolls around.
