What
is a Shrub?
A shrub is a woody plant that's similar to a tree.
Shrubs seldom grow as tall as trees and they have
multiple stems instead of a single stem. Like trees,
shrubs can be deciduous
or evergreen.
How to Use
This index includes the botanical names and the common names
of many basic landscape plants. Clicking on a name will take
you to a short tutorial about that plant. Watch for links
throughout the tutorial that define new terms, provide additional
information about a topic, or to view an image of the plant.
The tutorial ends with a summary of the plant's cultural information
and a list of images for that plant. After you complete the
tutorial and summary review, you can take a short, ungraded
quiz to test yourself. Have fun!
