Shrubs
Shrubs are small to medium-sized woody plants that typically have multiple stems, a short trunk, and a narrow crown. They are usually much smaller than trees, reaching heights of up to about 10 feet (3 meters) or less. Shrubs are found in a variety of habitats and can be evergreen or deciduous, meaning they retain their leaves year-round or shed them seasonally. Shrubs provide food and shelter for animals, stabilize soil, and offer beautiful foliage for landscaping and gardening purposes.
