Unlike herbaceous plants, shrubs have persistent woody stems above the ground. Shrubs can be deciduous or evergreen. They are distinguished from trees by their multiple stems and shorter height, less than 6–10 m (20–33 ft) tall. Small shrubs, less than 2 m (6.6 ft) tall are sometimes termed subshrubs.
How tall should shrubs be?
Planting Tips Planting a shrub that reaches 8 to 10 feet tall in front of a window with a base that is 5 feet or less off the ground blocks the window. Foundation shrubs should not grow taller than the eaves either, because they may damage the gutters, or the foliage may fall inside, causing issues with drainage.
