Exact plant #36, 2-3 year old plant and 50 similar items

? Up for sale is exact plant #36, a 2-3-year-old Chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), potted. The plant will be shipped soil-less, with roots wrapped in wet media, during its dormancy. Once it breaks dormancy in April, it will be potted in soil and shipped in a plastic container with soil. ? The color of the berries can range from dark red/brown to deep black due to the diversity from sexual propagation (seedlings). Unlike cloned plants, these seedlings are unique, with varied characteristics, including berry color. This diversity makes each tree a bit different. ? Chokecherries derive their name from their bitter, astringent taste. Historically, Native American tribes relied on chokecherries as a staple food. They were often cooked or dried to remove bitterness. Plains tribes would sometimes dry and pulverize the fruit into balls, which could be stored for later use. ? Drying chokecherries helps improve their taste by reducing their natural bitterness. Native Americans ate them in various ways—fresh, juiced, or as dried fruit balls. These fruit balls, which included the pulp, skin, and stone, were an essential preserved food source. ? Shipping is available within the USA. The plant will be shipped during dormancy, with roots in wet media, or in a plastic container with soil once it breaks dormancy. I generally ship at the beginning of the week to ensure safe delivery, especially during spring. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
