Plants and Beyond for
hard to find Bushes, Shrubs
& Hedges
A shrub or
Hedge is a horticultural rather than
strictly botanical category of woody plant, distinguished from a tree by its
multiple stems and lower height, usually less than 5-6 m (15-20 ft) tall. A
large number of plants can be either shrubs or trees, depending on the growing
conditions they experience. Small, low shrubs such as lavender, periwinkle and
thyme are often termed subshrubs.
A natural plant
community dominated by shrubs is called a shrubland.
An area of
cultivated shrubs in a park or garden is known as a shrubbery. When clipped as
topiary, shrubs generally have dense foliage and many small leafy branches
growing close together. Many shrubs respond well to renewal pruning, in which
hard cutting back to a 'stool' results in long new stems known as "canes". Other
shrubs respond better to selective pruning to reveal their structure and
character.
Shrubs in common
garden practice are generally broad-leaved plants, though some smaller conifers
such as Mountain Pine and Common Juniper are also shrubby in structure. Shrubs
can be either deciduous or evergreen.
