Deciduous Shrubs List
Shrubs are basically of two types; evergreen and deciduous. Evergreen shrubs are subdivided according to their leaf types; broad and needle. These shrubs, as the name suggest, are not subjected to any kind of weather or seasonal change in colors of their leaves. Deciduous shrubs, on the other hand, are characterized by shedding of their leaves or losing their foliage, according to the particular season or whether. Having had a brief introduction to the shrub types, let's now come to the deciduous shrubs list, which the article is all about. Know more on shrub identification.
