Forest Rebuilding

Horticulture has not found a precise definition about certain plants that seem simple shrubs or bushes.

Trees are usually described as plants with many stems perennial that can grow or develop at ground level. Usually have less than five centimeters wide and one meter high.

Many people use both terms to describe their garden plants. However the difference between them? Generally it's just personal preference and regional language.

For example when we think we believe that shrubs are cultivated specimens in the garden and this term is consistent with some definitions of horticulture. Bushes on the other hand are considered to be those plants that grow wild.

Some gardeners have said that although they worked with many species prefer to use the term rose bush. They said they never said "rose bushes" but "rose bushes".

OED says can be a bush or shrub formations and shrubs can be a kind of smaller trees. Others would say that trees are smaller than a bush.

If you are confused think that there is no difference accepted by dictionaries and horticulture about bushes and shrubs.
