The term shrub is not a botanical term, it is a
horticultural term and therefore the definition is not clear cut. A
shrub is a perennial plant which is growing one more than one stem
from the ground. Two features distinguish a shrub from a tree, a
shrub has no single trunk from the ground and shrubs have a
maximum height of 6m (19ft).
