Amelanchier obovalis, the coastal serviceberry, coastal juneberry, or shadbush, is a species of flowering plant in the Rosaceae family.[3] It is native to the Atlantic coastal plain of the United States, from New Jersey to Georgia, typically in pine barrens and other dry woodlands.[4]

A deciduous shrub, it grows to 3–5 ft (1–2 m) tall, with small five-petaled white flowers, edible dark blue to purple-black fruits and up to 2 in (50 mm) long dull green leaves.[5]
