Sand Cherry

Outstanding tolerance for poor, dry, sandy soils makes it one of the best native shrubs for dune and lakeshore restoration.

• Low-growing, spreading shrub native to sandy lake shores across Ontario
• White flowers in spring; dark purple-black cherries in summer attract birds
• Spreads by suckers to stabilize slopes and sandy banks effectively
• Thrives in full sun on dry, infertile soils where other shrubs struggle
