A bush, also called shrubbery, is generally short but some types can be 6-feet high or taller (example: a maze made with a hedge). A bush typically has more than 1 'trunk' growing from the ground, and also, its separate trunks branch closer to the ground than what is seen on a tree. On mature/adult trees, the first branch in the trunk is usually above 4-feet or more from the ground. A bush more typically grows up to 3 feet high (except hedge types), and grow outward in width - hence, the term 'bush'. Trees grow upward before attaining a thicker canopy of leaves at the top. Bushes often have short stems with very tiny leaves, and stems sometimes also have a thorny appearance. Bushes are cut and shaped better by hedge trimmers (manual clippers, or electric trimmers), while hand or electric saws or large clippers with teeth do better on tree branches.
