Amelanchier asiatica, a deciduous shrub or tree found on the edges of spinneys or woods, with gray-brown bark, grows to 5-10m in height. Leaves are alternate, with oblong blades measuring 4-9cm in length and 2.5-4cm in width. The tips are sharply pointed, the bases are round or obtuse, and the margins are shallowly serrated. Fresh young leaves, whose backsides have thick pubescent hairs, vanish later except for some on the midribs. White 5-petaled flowers bloom together on branch tips, approximately 10 in number. Bloom time: April-May.
