The plant has leathery, serrated leaves that are 1-2 inches long and silvery-green to gray-green in color with yellow fall coloration. Small white flowers appear in clusters of 2-4 in May, followed by dark purple to black cherry-like fruits that are 8-18mm in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>This hardy shrub is extremely cold-tolerant, surviving temperatures down to -50\u00b0C when dormant. It thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and full sun conditions, making it well-adapted to harsh prairie environments.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Where\">Where Found<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Sand cherry is native to North America, ranging from Saskatchewan and Ontario south to Colorado, Kansas, and Ohio. It naturally occurs on sandy hills, open plains, rocky slopes, shores, dunes, and prairies at elevations from 200-1,700 meters.
