Description
The purple leaf sand cherry can either be a shrub or a small tree. The botanical name of this shrub is Prunus x cistena and it is included as part of the Rosaceae family. The leaves are reddish-purple, 2" long, and elliptical in shape. In fall, they will turn a bronze-green.
The flowers are pink or white, no bigger than a human thumbnail, and appear in April or early May in Canada.
A few 3/4" purplish-black drupes will appear in July.
It's their delicate nature that attracts the keen gardener and macro photographer.
