woody plants
Bark-covered flora species
Woody plants are trees, shrubs, and vines that produce hard, persistent stems containing wood—as distinguished from herbaceous plants, whose stems die back each season.
The category includes everything from towering oaks to climbing wisteria to low-growing boxwood hedges.
The landscaper recommended woody plants for year-round structure in the garden.
