Mountain Cherry is a deciduous shrub 2-3 ft high, of
low, spreading habit, and measuring much more in width than it does in
height. Flowers are 1.2-2 cm across, produced singly or in pairs with
the young leaf-clusters from the previous seasons shoots, very
short-stalked. Petals are a lively rose color, sepal-cup tubular.
Branches are slender, arching outwards and downwards, the young ones
covered with a minute darkish velvety hair. Leaves are narrow-oblong to
ovate or obovate, pointed, from 2.5-4 cm long, sharply toothed, and
downy or hairless beneath. Fruits are almost stalkless, red, 8 mm long,
tapering towards the end. Mountain Cherry is native to the
Mediterranean region, cultivated elsewhere.
