Field Notes
Description:
Also known as shadbush, shadwood or shadblow, sarvisberry, wild pear, juneberry, saskatoon, sugarplum or wild-plum, and chuckley pear. The fruit is a berry-like pome, red to purple to nearly black at maturity, 5–15 mm diameter, insipid to delectably sweet, maturing in summer. The fruit of several species are excellent to eat raw, tasting somewhat like a blueberry, strongly accented by the almond-like flavor of the seeds. Birds love these and will eat there for many days in succession.
