A large number of plants can be either shrubs or trees, depending on the growing conditions they experience. Small, low shrubs such as [[lavender]], [[Vinca|periwinkle]] and [[thyme]] are often termed [[subshrub]]s. An area of [[cultivation|cultivated]] shrubs in a [[park]] or [[garden]] is known as a [[shrubbery]]. When clipped as [[topiary]], shrubs generally have dense [[foliage]] and many small leafy [[branch]]es growing close together. Many shrubs respond well to renewal [[pruning]], in which hard cutting back to a 'stool' results in long new stems known as "canes". Other shrubs respond better to selective pruning to reveal their structure and character. Shrubs in common garden practice are generally [[flowering plant|broad-leaved plants]], though some smaller [[Pinophyta|conifers]] such as [[Mountain Pine]] and [[Common Juniper]] are also shrubby in structure. Shrubs can be either [[deciduous]] or [[evergreen]]. ==List of shrubs (bushes)== Those marked * can also develop into tree form. {| |- valign=top | ;A *''[[Abelia]]'' ([[Abelia]]) *''[[Actinidia]]''
