Serviceberry, shadbush, shadwood, and juneberry are just a few of the many names given to this shrub. You can often find it growing along the edge of the forest. Its white flowers are a sure sign that spring has sprung. A few weeks later, red to purple-black berries ripen and provide food for songbirds and mammals.
