Perennial Trees

Shrubs

updated Feb 02, 2009 by Nick Thorp

Woody stemmed plants that grow up to 12 feet at maturity are considered shrubs and small trees. These plants are often multi-stemmed and provide the intermediate layer of landscape design. It is in this category that we find a large number of flowering and fruiting plants. Shrubs are deciduous, semi-deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous refers to the plants that seasonally lose their leaves due to colder weather or decreased light. Semi-deciduous are those that hold onto their leaves during mild winters. Evergreen foliage remains intact from season to season maintaining their display of green regardless of weather changes. This is a sought after design feature in shrubs because of their unchangeable display of green regardless of weather changes. Soil and site needs vary according to each plant so it is good to read plant labels or do some investigating before setting to bed unfamiliar plant varieties.
