It is most diverse taxonomically in North America, especially in the northeastern United States. Also known as shadbush, shadwood or shadblow, serviceberry or sarvisberry (or just sarvis), juneberry, saskatoon, sugarplum, wild-plum or chuckley pear, is a deciduous-leaved shrubs small tree in the rose family (Rosaceae).
