ShrubA shrub or bush is a small to medium-sized perennialwoody plant. Unlike herbaceous plants, shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Shrubs can be either deciduous or evergreen. They are distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorter height, less than 6–10 m (20–33 ft) tall, the cutoff point varying within this range for any one species due to suitability of growing conditions in any one environment.
