native shrub
Endemic woody plant
A native shrub is a woody plant of moderate height that grows naturally in a particular region, as opposed to species introduced from elsewhere.
The term appears frequently in landscaping and conservation contexts, where native shrubs are valued for supporting local ecosystems: We replaced the invasive privet with native shrubs like serviceberry and spicebush.
