Prunus maackii, or amur chokecherry, is a non-native from Manchuria and Korea. This species is a cherry tree with a longer lifespan and fewer issues compared to many other Prunus species. It thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil and tolerates poorer soils and some salt pollution but prefers cool climates and should be mulched to regulate soil temperature. While it can be prone to black knot disease, borers, aphids, scale, canker, and Japanese beetles, it offers versatility in planting environments.
