SHRUBS<br />

There is not a uniform definition that distinguishes a short tree from a tall shrub, and definitions <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

differ significantly. So, for a practical definition, shrubs are short woody plants with a short stem and,<br />

usually, several basal branches <strong>of</strong> equal size. Shrubs are very important plants to wildlife in similar<br />

ways as trees. They provide life requisites from ground level to about 15 feet high.<br />
