The flowering season is spring. It has 5 single-flowered petals with the color from white to pale red. The flowers are very small with the size of 1 to 2 cm. Unlike other species flowers bloom downward. It's not as big as a tree even when its bigger size is 10 m tall. Interestingly even when it's about 1 m tall it will still bloom. It is believed that this feature has evolved so that future generations can stay in subalpine zones that are difficult to grow due to nutrition and climate. Therefore it can grow in the subalpine zone which is more cold-resistant than the common cherry blossoms. The bark is light gray and the branches are long and thin. The leaves are oval with deep notches on the edges (featured with serrated blade). The fruit is red and black when ripe. It seems to be pretty suitable to grow as a garden tree or bonsai because it has the characteristics of flowering and not growing up. It is very cold-resistant and can withstand a temperature of -20 ℃.
