Prunus depressa (Sand Cherry)

Prunus depressa, commonly known as Sand Cherry, is a low growing shrub that is often used for erosion control due to its spreading, mat-forming habit. It has small, oval-shaped leaves and produces clusters of fragrant white flowers in the spring, followed by small, edible berries. This plant is typically found in sandy or rocky areas, hence its common name. Sand Cherry is a hardy plant and can tolerate a range of soil conditions.
