1. Choose a Planting Location:
Chokecherries prefer full sun 🌞 but can tolerate partial shade. Choose a location with well-drained, fertile soil.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Chokecherries prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-7.0) 🌾. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility.

3. Planting Instructions:
Sow chokecherry seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart 🌍. For rows, space them 18-24 inches apart.

4. Watering Requirements:
Water chokecherries regularly 💧, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging.

5. Germination Time:
Chokecherry seeds typically take 30-60 days to germinate ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Prune the plants to remove dead or damaged wood 🍒. Fertilize annually and mulch around the base to retain moisture.
