Shrub
From BonsaiWIKI
(Redirected from Shrubs)
Shrubs are higher plants that are shorter in stature than trees and don't have a distinct trunk in their natural forms. Rather, shrubs may feature multiple branches that are in competition with one another.
Despite their habits, shrubs are frequently used as bonsai subjects, but they will be styled to more tree-like shapes by removing competing branches and featuring a main trunkline. Shrubs have some very favorable properties for the bonsai artist. They backbud easily, and withstand aggressive pruning well.
