S6.2 Bushy

general - branched - bushy - leader and laterals - several shoots - single leader

A bushy shrub 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:

Aucuba spp.
Buxus spp.
Hypericum spp.
Lavandula spp.
Olearia spp.
Skimmia spp.
