CO7.2 Bushy

A bushy habit is defined as "a plant often without a defined main stem. Lateral shoots often arising from a central point but sometimes also from elsewhere. More sub-lateral shoots produced than a branched plant."

Bushy plants normally cover the pot (when container grown) except where a diameter dimension is shown, when it is less than the pot diameter.

For example:

Chamaecyparis spp. (dwarf species/cvs)
Juniperus spp. (dwarf species/cvs)
Picea spp. (dwarf species/cvs)
Pinus spp. (medium species/cvs)
Tsuga spp. (dwarf species/cvs)
