Spring burns were conducted annually on a bluestem prairie in southwestern
Minnesota. Fire severities were generally considered to be low to moderate.
Western sand cherry sprouted well on all plots and maintained a similar percent
cover on all plots over the 5-year sampling period. There was an initial
late-season increase in percent cover of western sand cherry in burn years,
but cover returned to prefire levels by the following spring [6].
A summer burn was conducted in a jack-white-red pine stand in Ontario, and
vegetation sampling was done 4 years after the burn. Sand cherry cover was not
significantly different (p<0.05) when averaged across burned versus unburned
plots. Sand cherry regeneration occurred exclusively from sprouts, not from seed
[92].
In the jack pine barrens of Wisconsin, vegetation sampling found that frequent,
repeated fires reduced sand cherry frequency by as much as 25% when compared
to unburned sites [84].
This description provides characteristics that may be relevant to fire ecology, and is not meant for identification. Several florae provide keys for identifying sand cherry (e.g., [29,71,73,87]).
Sand cherry is a native, diffusely-branched shrub that grows from 1.5 to 9.1 feet (0.5-3.0 m) in height. The shrub may be decumbent or prostrate when growing on dunes or other wind-blown sites [10,73]. The leaves are generally oblanceolate and 0.4 to 0.8 inch (10-20 mm) wide. Leaves of Sesquehana sand cherry are often 0.8 to 1.2 inches (20-30 mm) wide [10]. The perfect flowers occur in umbel-like clusters of 2 to 4. The fruit is a one-seeded drupe 0.4 to 0.6 inch (10-15 mm) in diameter. The seed is a flattened stone 0.3 inch (7-8 mm) in diameter [10,29,73]. Sand cherry has a spreading root system that grows primarily in the mineral soil layer >9.8 inches (25 cm) deep with some roots penetrating to a depth of 8 to 12 feet (2.6-4.0 m) [77,91]. Sand cherry is rhizomatous; rhizomes are uniformly abundant in the shallow and deeper soil layers [92].
There is some evidence that sand cherry may be allelopathic. In field and greenhouse studies, extracts from sand cherry leaves completely prevented the germination of jack pine seedlings and also inhibited seedling growth [11,55,65].
Sand cherry is widely distributed across the northern half of the United States and eastern Canada. It occurs from Quebec and Newfoundland south to Tennessee and Arkansas and west to Utah, Montana, and Saskatchewan [10,43]. Plants Database provides a distribution map of sand cherry and its varieties.
Varieties: Western sand cherry occurs from Ontario south to Arkansas and west to Utah, Montana, and Saskatchewan. Eastern sand cherry occurs from Quebec and Newfoundland south to Tennessee and west to Ontario. Great Lakes sand cherry occurs from Ontario south to Pennsylvania and west to Iowa and Minnesota. Sesquehana sand cherry occurs from Quebec and Newfoundland south to Virginia and west to Minnesota and Manitoba [43,80].
Fire adaptations: Reestablishment of sand cherry primarily occurs from sprouting [6,92]. Although not documented in the literature, sand cherry could presumably colonize burned areas when off-site seed is transported on-site by birds or mammals.
FIRE REGIMES: Sand cherry occurs in plant communities and ecosystems with a wide range of historic fire frequencies. In the prairie and grassland communities, fires were relatively frequent with intervals ranging from <10 years to <35 years [56]. The fire intervals in the forest ecosystems were highly variable. In interior ponderosa pine and red pine communities, for example, fires were typically frequent low severity surface fires [2,14]. Conversely, red-white pine and jack pine communities experienced a mixed-severity regime with low to moderate severity at frequent intervals and stand-replacing fires over longer intervals [15]. As of this writing (2006), fire ecology studies are lacking for sand cherry. The following table provides fire return intervals for plant communities and ecosystems where sand cherry occurs. Find fire regime information for the plant communities in which this species may occur by entering the species name in the FEIS home page under "Find FIRE REGIMES".

Sites are typically dry and excessively drained [10,71,72,82]. The species will grow on calcareous, saline, or serpentine soils [10], and will tolerate a lower soil ph of 4.0 [83]. Western sand cherry is rated as winter hardy to -40 oF (-40 oC) [41].
Information on the elevational ranges of sand cherry is not available for all areas in which it occurs. The following table summarizes reported elevational ranges of sand cherry.
Area Elevation CO 3,500 to 6,500 feet (1,050-1,900 m) [33] Adirondacks 1,040 feet (320 m) [46] Great Lake States 650 to 1,300 feet (200-400 m) ON 660 to 1,300 feet (200-400 m) [7]Sand cherry provides fruits and cover for a variety of birds and other small animals [58]. White-tailed deer in Michigan lightly browse sand cherry [40]. Sharp-tailed grouse in the Nebraska sandhills feed on sand cherry fruits in the summer [61]. Rodents reportedly feed heavily on sand cherry twigs [25]. Black-tailed jackrabbits in Kansas are reported to "vigorously attack" sand cherry twigs in the winter after snowfall [66].
Palatability/nutritional value: Sand cherry is reported to be a good quality forage for cattle, domestic sheep, deer, and pronghorn [75].
Cover value: Sand cherry provides good brood habitat for sharp-tailed grouse in Wisconsin jack pine barrens [31]. In the jack pine barrens of northern Michigan, the shrub provides nesting and fledgling cover for Kirtland's warbler [51,60].
Sand cherry most commonly occurs on dry sites in grass-dominated communities, but
it may also flourish in the shrub layer of some forest cover types.
Publications that discuss plant communities in which sand cherry naturally
occurs are listed below. The list is neither restrictive nor all inclusive.

The extensive root system and drought hardiness of sand cherry has made it a desirable shrub for erosion control and windbreak plantings throughout the Midwest [53]. Better performance in these planting can be achieved with fertilization [79]. For windbreak plantings, a 4-foot (1.2m) spacing is recommended [53].
Sand cherry provides good dwarfing rootstock for peaches, apricots and plums [18]. Sand cherry, primarily western sand cherry, has been used to create hybrids with peach, apricot and plum. The resulting cultivars are generally quite winter hardy and bloom later in the spring which results in less spring freeze damage [62,88]. Hybrids of peach and sand cherry are largely sterile, but hybrids of Japanese plum and sand cherry are highly fertile [88].
The purple sand cherry (Prunus ÃÂ cistena), a cross between sand cherry and cherry plum (P. cerasifera), is a popular ornamental shrub desired for its colorful purple foliage [10].
The fruit of sand cherry can be eaten raw or cooked or dried for later use. The fruit can also be used to make jam, jelly or syrup [10].
Sand cherry regenerates by both seeds and sprouts [22,54,57].
Breeding system: Sand cherry is monoecious and self-fertile [30,73].
Pollination: Sand cherry is pollinated by insects [10,30].
Seed production: Sand cherry starts producing seed at 2 to 3 years of age. An average of 17 pounds (7.6 kg) of seed can be recovered from 100 pounds (45 kg) of fruit yielding 1,500 to 2,965 seeds per pound (3,300-6523/kg) [30,42,53].
Seed dispersal: Sand cherry seeds are primarily spread by birds and small mammals that eat the fruit [10,30].
Seed banking: Whittle and others [91] found no evidence of seed banking by sand cherry in a jack pine ecosystem in Ontario. Additional information on the seed banking of sand cherry is lacking.
Germination: Sand cherry has been described as being "extremely dormant". It requires moist cold stratification before germination will occur [36]. Greenhouse studies have found that the best germination occurs after 100 days of wet chilling at 41 oF (5 oC) or 120 days at 33 oF (1 oC) [30,53].
Seedling establishment/growth: Although there is good information on the artificial cultivation of sand cherry seedlings, detailed information on natural seedling development is limited. Olson [54] reported that seedling invasion of sand cherry occurs on new dunes of southern Lake Michigan. Plummer [57] described sand cherry as having a "moderate seed spread". However, Whittle and others [92] reported that no seedling establishment occurred within the first 4 years following a prescribed burn in a mixed jack-red-white pine forest in Ontario.
Artificial cultivation of sand cherry seedlings is discussed in Value for Rehabilitation of Disturbed Sites.
Asexual regeneration: Sand cherry reproduces vegetatively by sprouting from the roots and rhizomes [32,54,92].
Sand cherry is usually found on open habitats with little shade from trees or other shrubs [10]. Although it does occur in many different forested communities, the specific sites are often along edges of openings or in stands where canopy closure has not occurred [7,20,39,69].
Sand cherry is considered a dune building species on the sand dunes of Lake Michigan. Its deep root network helps to stabilize sand, allowing for the invasion of other plant species and colonization by "soil building" invertebrates such as ants [10,54]. Sand cherry is most abundant on dunes 55 years old or less, and decreases in abundance as dunes age [16,17,27,49].
The scientific name of sand cherry is Prunus pumila L. (Rosaceae).
Some systematists recognize 4 varieties of sand cherry [10,13,43].
Prunus pumila L. var. besseyi (Bailey) Gleason, western sand cherry
Prunus pumila L. var. depressa (Pursh) Gleason, eastern sand cherry
Prunus pumila L. var. pumila, Great Lakes sand cherry
Prunus pumila L. var. susquehanae (hort. ex Willd.) Jaeger, Sesquehana sand cherry
Varieties are referred to by their common names in this review.
Western sand cherry has been recommended for revegetation plantings in the Rocky Mountain and Intermountain west along road sides or other bare areas [25,58,86]. It is listed as being high in value for restoration of disturbed sites for its soil stabilizing characteristics [52]. Vogel [83] recommended sand cherry for use in revegetation of coal minespoils in the eastern United States primarily because of its tolerance of acidic soils.
Sand cherry was first cultivated in the United States in 1756 [30]. It can be readily propagated from seeds and stem and root cuttings. Root cuttings should be collected in the winter, and stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seed can be collected in late summer or fall when fruits ripen, and all pulp should be removed before sowing or storing [53]. Seeds should undergo a moist cold scarification for at least 100 days and not be allowed to dry out before planting. Plant the seeds 2 to 3 inches (5.1-7.6 cm) apart and about 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5.1 cm) deep [30,32].

Prunus pumila, commonly called sand cherry, is a North American species of cherry in the rose family. It is widespread in eastern and central Canada from New Brunswick west to Saskatchewan and the northern United States from Maine to Montana, south as far as Colorado, Kansas, Indiana, and Virginia, with a few isolated populations in Tennessee and Utah.[1][3] It grows in sandy locations such as shorelines and dunes.[4]
Prunus pumila is a deciduous shrub that grows to 0.61–1.83 metres (2–6 feet) tall depending on the variety.[5] It forms dense clonal colonies by sprouts from the root system. The leaves are leathery, 4–7 centimetres (1+5⁄8–2+3⁄4 inches) long, with a serrated margin. The flowers are 15–25 millimetres (9⁄16–1 in) in diameter with five white petals and 25–30 stamens. They are produced in small clusters of two to four. The fruit is a small cherry 13–15 mm (1⁄2–9⁄16 in) in diameter, ripening to dark purple in early summer.[6][7][8]

Prunus pumila L., 1767, noto comunemente come sand cherry (ciliegio della sabbia), è una pianta della famiglia delle Rosaceae[1], diffusa in Nord America.
In natura ha spesso portamento cespuglioso molto basso o prostrato 10–40 cm, ma con suolo ricco può raggiungere i 180 cm. È notevolmente resistente al freddo.
È estremamente pollonifero e tende a produrre nuovi getti dalle radici, producendo così estese colonie clonali.
Le foglie sono coriacee, lanceolate, lunghe 4–7 cm a margine seghettato. I fiori sono raccolti in piccoli gruppi di 2-4, piccoli, 15–20 mm, con cinque petali bianchi con 25-30 stami. Il frutto è una ciliegia (13–15 mm di diametro) di colore rosso scuro, commestibile ma non molto saporita.
È diffuso in Canada orientale e centrale (da Nuovo Brunswick a Saskatchewan) e nel nord degli Stati Uniti (dal Montana al Maine, ed a sud fino a Colorado, Kansas, Indiana e Virginia, e con poche popolazioni in Utah e Tennessee.
Cresce in ambienti molto poveri, come i greti aridi e desertici, su dune sabbiose ma anche su pietraie.
Prunus pumila è distinto in diverse !varietà naturali di difficile classificazione.

Сли́ва ка́рликовая (лат. Prúnus púmila) — вид двудольных цветковых растений, включённый в род Слива (Prunus) семейства Розовые (Rosaceae).
Слива карликовая — лежачий, приподнимающийся или прямостоячий листопадный кустарник, не превышающий 2 м в высоту.
Листья в очертании продолговато-эллиптические, 4—10 см длиной и 1—3 см шириной, заострённые к концу, с мелкозубчатым краем. Черешки до 1 см длиной. Верхняя поверхность листовой пластинки тёмно-зелёная, блестящая, нижняя — более бледная. Прилистники линейные, опадающие.
Цветки белого цвета, обычно собранные по 2—4 в зонтиковидные соцветия, около 2 см в диаметре, распускаются до появления листьев или одновременно с ним, в конце мая. Чашелистики голые, с зубчатым розоватым от желёзок краем. Лепестки обратнояйцевидные или яйцевидные.
Плод — почти шаровидная костянка до 1,5 см в диаметре, чёрного или фиолетово-красного цвета. Эндокарпий продолговато-яйцевидной формы, с шершавой поверхностью. Съедобна, кислая на вкус.
Естественный ареал сливы карликовой — север Великих равнин Северной Америки — от Канзаса и Колорадо на юге до Монтаны, Миннесоты и Саскачевана на севере.
