How to Select Healthy Red Chokeberry？

To select a healthy red chokeberry, look for vibrant, green leaves and avoid plants with yellowing or brown spots. Check for signs of pests, such as holes or sticky residue, and ensure the foliage is free from insects. The plant should have a strong, upright structure and show no signs of wilting or drooping. Additionally, inspect the roots if visible; they should be white or light brown, not dark or mushy. These indicators will help ensure you choose a vigorous and healthy red chokeberry.
