A shrub or bush is a small- tomedium-sized perennial woody plant. Unlike herbaceous plants,shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Theyare distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorterheight, less than 6 m-10 m (20 ft–33 ft) tall.
In this way, how do you describe a Bush?
When used to describe the land, the bushmeans a wooded area, but not dense forest. It is usually dry andnitrogen-poor soil, mostly grassless, with thin to thick woodyshrubs and bushes, with some eucalypt trees.

Characteristics of a Shrub
- Lack of a trunk: They branch near the ground hence do not havea well-defined trunk and rather have many stems.
- Broad leave plants: Shrubs are usually as such.
