The Western Choke-Cherry is a deciduous shrub typically 1–5 meters high. The white flowers are borne on graceful spreading inflorescences called racemes. The leaves are finely toothed and the fruit is a deep red berry that is bitter, but edible, especially towards the end of summer.
In California, the species is found in many wooded and shrubby habitats below 2500m (except the Coast and Central Valley) from San Diego county to the Oregon border.
