Coastal serviceberry
Amelanchier obovalis
Coastal serviceberry thrives in part shade and tolerates a range of well-drained, moist soils common along the Atlantic coastal plain. Water regularly during establishment and reduce once the shrub is settled in, as it does not handle prolonged drought well. This low-maintenance native shrub rewards gardeners with delicate spring flowers and wildlife-friendly berries.
