One of the divisions we make on landscape plants is to delineate between woody and non-woody i.e. herbaceous plants. Then, you can take the woodies and divide them into trees, shrubs and vines.

In this section, we will deal with shrubs which we define as woody plants generally less than 10-15 feet tall and often having multiple trunks or canes coming out of the soil. Of course, there are always a few exceptions to these rules but most of what we call shrubs would fit into them.

The pages linked below will give listings of shrubs that fit into various categories relating to their physical characteristics, growing environments, pest resistance and other traits.
