Word origin
The word 'shrub' originated from the Old English 'scrub-land', which referred to low, stunted trees or bushes. Over time, the term evolved to specifically describe a small to medium-sized woody plant with multiple stems. Shrubs have been cultivated for centuries for their ornamental value in gardens and landscapes.
