Serviceberry, also known as Juneberry or Saskatoon, is a small tree or shrub that is native to North America. Its scientific name is Amelanchier, and there are several species that are commonly found in different regions of the continent. While the name "serviceberry" is the most widely known, there are many synonyms for this fruit-bearing plant. Some of these include shadbush, wild plum, chuckley pear, sugarplum, and Indian pear. These synonyms often reflect the plant's cultural or ecological significance in different parts of the continent. For example, the name shadbush refers to the plant's blooming season, which coincides with the annual migration of shad fish in eastern North America.
