It is a deciduous small shrub that grows to 10–40 cm (rarely to 180 cm) tall, forming dense clonal colonies by sprouts from the root system. The leaves are leathery, 4–7 cm long, with a serrated margin. The flowers are produced in small clusters of two to four together, 15–25 mm diameter, with five white petals and 25–30 stamens. The fruit is a small cherry 13–15 mm diameter, ripening dark purple in early summer.Montana Natural Heritage Botany Program: [http://nhp.nris.mt.gov/plants/illust/sid1116i.pdf "Prunus pumila" Sand Cherry (pdf file)] ] Huxley, A., ed.
