shrubby
Like small bushes
Shrubby describes something resembling or characteristic of a shrub—woody, bushy, low-growing.
A shrubby plant has multiple stems rising from the base rather than a single trunk.
Shrubby terrain is covered with such vegetation: The hillside was shrubby and dry.
The word can suggest something unkempt or scraggly: a shrubby beard.
