This category encompasses over a thousand different species and cultivars of so many familys. In the past 200 years there as been such an explosion of new cultivars, some native, most from such areas as Japan, China, and South America. We make an attempt here to distinguish Shrubs from trees and deciduous from evergreen.
Some shrubs are deciduous and grow to tree size, and some trees are evergreen and make large shrubs.
When looking for a specific plant you may have to look at both the Deciduous tree category and the Broadleaf Shrub category to find what you are trying to reference. Most the broadleaf shrubs listed below either have fragrant flowers, colorful flowers, beautiful leaves, characteristic bark, dwarf forms, and other plant delights. Please give us feedback of other plants in this category you would like to see. This site maintained by Flying-Cloud Internet Services, Inc.
