Flowering Trees and Shrubs The best way to start thinking about the flowering plants (or angiosperms) is to start with the big stuff—the trees. A conventional definition is “a woody plant with a single trunk.” More specifically, trees are defined by the presence of a single main trunk that is upright, with a crown of either leaves or needles that fall (deciduous trees) or needles or even leaves that do not fall (evergreen). Think of an elm tree or a willow. In the Sonoran Desert region, however, trees may not have just a single stem, nor a definite crown. Trees in this region often have many stems growing from one root, giving them a downright shrubby appearance, quite unlike the singlestemmed pine tree, with its single, straight trunk and pointed crown on top. To this end, we will consider the shrubs. Conventionally, shrubs are “woody plants, shorter than a tree and with many stems.” Problematically, some trees can be shrubs and some shrubs can be trees. For our purposes, it is best to simply consider trees and shrubs to be the woody plants—those which persist long after the rains have gone in the fall, whose leaves fall, and whose trunks and stems remain throughout the year. Trees and shrubs are the most common of the common plants; their sheer size and number are what we see when we look at a large landscape. 49 Trees and Shrubs
