 Shrubs
are the predominant vegetation type around Tucson. Shrubs are woody plants
that are too low to walk under, whereas trees are woody plants that you
can walk under (at least when they are at their largest). There are many
species of shrubs in our desert, and many of them add to our "wildflower"
displays. |
