Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

'Schubert' choke cherry has a pyramidal form and vivid foliage that makes it a great focal point. Abundant, dark red-purple fruit follow the ephemeral, light pink flowers. The fruit is attractive to birds, so 'Schubert' choke cherry should not be planted near patios or walks due to the calling cards well-fed birds leave behind. Ask if the tree you buy is grafted onto nonsuckering rootstock; otherwise, suckers could pose problems down the road.

Lemon-lime foliage, fuzzy stems, and intense fall color make this sumac cultivar a standout. It grows into an upright, rounded form about 6 feet tall and as wide. New growth emerges chartreuse. Fall brings leaves of yellow, scarlet, and orange. Flowers are yellowish green and followed, on female plants, by hairy, dark red fruit. This plant spreads by suckers and can be invasive.
