Shrub

in botany, a plant with woody stem and branches like a tree, but of smaller size, not generally exceeding 20 feet in height, and branching near the root, so as to have no main stem of considerable height. When a shrub is of small size and much branched, it is often called a bush. Also a liquor composed of acid, particularly lemon juice and sugar, with spirit to preserve it.
