What is a "shrub"?
A shrub is a small to medium-sized plant with multiple woody stems that is usually shorter than a tree. Shrubs are often used in gardens or landscapes for decoration, privacy, or as a boundary. They can have a variety of shapes and sizes, and some produce flowers or fruits. Shrubs are commonly planted along fences, paths, or in flower beds, and they are known for their ability to grow in many different environments. They can be evergreen, meaning they keep their leaves all year, or deciduous, losing their leaves in colder months.
