berry bush

Small fruit plant

A berry bush is a shrub that produces berries—small, fleshy fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.

The term is practical rather than botanical, grouping any low-growing woody plant that bears edible berries: We planted several berry bushes along the back fence.

Berry bushes typically require annual pruning and take a few years to reach full production.
