                Amazing Facts of Shrubs.....

Shrubs are Perennial Woody Plants that grow Several or many stems,usually fairly low to the Ground, and can reach up to about 20 feet tall. In some woody plant species, the outcome can be either a shrub or a tree, depending on the environment.A Dominant stem or trunk may form in place of multiple stems, and the specimen will usually grow taller than the average shrub. Both deciduous and evergreen shrubs are common.

Ornamental shrubs include lilacs and hydrengea. Coffee and tea are economically important shrubs. Hedges, used for centuries as green borders around yards and fields,are shrubs too.

Woody vascular plants, Shrubs develop a system of Secondary vascular tissue in addition to that found in herbaceous vascular plants. This secondary tissue includes extra xylem, the tissue that transports water and minerals absorbed by the roots, as well as extra pholem, Tissue that transports the food made by Photosynthesis.
Bushes and Shrubs are not the same, according to horticulturists. A bush is usually a low, dense, and extremely multibranched woody plant; Woody plants that are more treelike in structure and taller than the average shrub are called Arborescences.

• What is Pollination?

The essential reproductive act in the plant word is Pollination: the distribution of male reproductive cells in the form of pollen to join with female reproductive cells in the ovary, deep within a Plant's Flower.

Pollination often involves a Partnership between a flowering plant and an animal that carries the pollen on its body. Insects are the most frequent pollinators, but birds, Butterflies, reptiles, and even mammals such as Bats Participate.

• Deciduous (or) Evergreen?

Deciduous shrubs and trees lose their leaves for part of the year, usually in the fall, followed by a dormant period in which biological processes rest except for limited root growth.Prior to leaf drop, many species of trees and shrubs exhibit brilliant fall colour. Some examples of decidous Shrubs include viburnum,hydrangea, and forsythia.

Evergreen shrubs and trees hold their leaves or needles through the year. They do lose leaves more or less continuosly, although not noticeably. In temperature climates, evergreens grow at a Slower rate and photosynthesize at a slower pace during winter than Summer.

Most of the conifers-Pines, Spruce, Hemlock, and fir-are Evergreen, although two conifer species-Larch and bald cypress-are Deciduous.
