Prunus murrayana is a thorny, deciduous shrub up to tall, forming clumps by means of sprouts formed at the base of the plant. The leaves are hairy on both surfaces, usually folding along the midrib. The flowers are white, usually appearing about the same time as the leaves. The fruits are red with white dots, hairless but with a waxy coating on the outside.Palmer, Ernest Jesse 1929.
