This article is about explaining what a shrub is. There are so many, that it is not a good idea to create a list with all shrubs. In my opinion it is better to have a few obvious shrubs with a page and a picture. GerardM 10:05, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Handy for accessing pages with shrubs on, though. There's long been a similar list at Tree. Particularly useful (by clicking on 'related changes') for seeing what new edits have appeared. Maybe the list could be put on a page of its own eventually, but at the moment it doesn't warrant it in terms of page size. - MPF 01:46, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

So, this is the source of inspiration for {{substub}}. I would never have guessed that the madcap nomenclature of playful horticulturalists would infect Wikipedia with such silliness. (Although it would not surprise me to learn that subshrub is just the work of bored trolls.) --Yath 23:35, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The inclusion of Thymus among shrubs seems quirky. A complete list will be very long indeed, more suitable for a horticultural dictionary, of which there are already several. Too bad Gerard M's advice can't be followed... Wetman 10:27, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Molly Ivins' Shrub

Where would I go to find an article on the Molly Ivins book? Wiwaxia 05:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that some editing of the shrub list needs to be done. I am not in any way an expert, but I know that Aloe is not a woody plant, and is actually a succulent. Digsdirt 18:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
