'''Shrub'''

A '''shrub''' or '''bush''' is a small- to medium-sized [[woody plant]]. Unlike [[herbaceous plants]], shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. They are distinguished from [[trees]] by their multiple stems and shorter height, less than 6 m-10 m (20 ft–33 ft) tall. Small shrubs, less than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall are sometimes termed [[subshrub]]s.

==Overview==

Shrubs are perennial woody plants, and therefore have persistent woody stems above ground (compare with [[herbaceous plants]]). They add structure and organization to landscapes and can be used for privacy and security purposes. Shrubs can be deciduous or evergreen. They can be of many types, including deciduous, evergreen, flowering, non-flowering, fruiting, and non-fruiting.

==Types of Shrubs==

===Deciduous Shrubs===

[[Deciduous]] shrubs lose all of their leaves for part of the year. This process is called [[abscission]]. In some cases leaf loss coincides with winter—namely in temperate or polar climates.

===Evergreen Shrubs===

[[Evergreen]] shrubs do not lose their leaves or needles. This makes them a popular choice for year-round color in landscapes.

===Flowering and Non-Flowering Shrubs===

Some shrubs produce beautiful [[flower]]s that attract [[pollinators]]. Others do not produce flowers, but may have interesting leaves or stems.

===Fruiting and Non-Fruiting Shrubs===

Some shrubs produce [[fruit]] that can be eaten by humans or wildlife. Others do not produce fruit.

==Uses of Shrubs==

Shrubs have many uses in the landscape, including providing privacy, reducing noise, and creating wildlife habitat. They can also be used for their ornamental value, or for their fruit or flowers.
