The plant is usually an erect shrub six to ten feet in height. Tended landscape plants may grow much taller. The shrub sprouts up via rhizomes, and can form dense, spiny thickets. The banded gray bark is similar in appearance to that of the cherry tree. The leaves are dark green, turning red before falling, and are faintly serrated. Pink or white flowers appear in the spring and the plums are mature in late summer. The fruit is variable in appearance, and may be red or yellow, and rarely exceed one inch in length.
