A shrub or bush 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 6 m 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 or santolina are often termed subshrubs.

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.

When clipped as topiary, shrubs generally have dense foliage and many small leafy branchLilac tree A branch is a part of a woody plant such as a tree, shrub, or vine. It is any woody structural member that is not the central trunk or trunks and which supports the terminal twigs, which in turn support the leaves. Branches may be oriented in aes 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.
