 Hi, this is Heidi Rader, professor of extension with the University of Alaska Fairbanks. As a lifelong Fairbanksian, I've seen many changes in what we can grow. Chokecherries used to be one of the few ornamentals that thrived here. Now they're doing too well and spreading. They're poisonous to moose and bad for salmon. Please join me in removing your chokecherry trees.
