1. Woody Plants :
Perennial plants with woody stems which survive the winter.
- A Shrub bears several woody stems at ground level.
- A Tree bears only one woody stem at ground level.
- A Climber has the ability when established to attach it self to or twine around an upright structure. Some weak-stemmed plants which require tying to stakes (e.g. Climbing Roses) are included here.
- A Hedge is a contin uous line of Shrubs or Trees in which the individuality of each plant is partly or wholly lost.
