How to Draw a Great Looking Bush for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing a series of short, "U" shaped lines. The lines should be connected to one another, forming a longer, squiggly line. This is the bottom of the bush.

Learn More About The Bush Drawing
"Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!"
-Australian nursery rhyme
A bush, also called a shrub, is a familiar plant of both the garden and the great outdoors. Many varieties are cultivated for their beautiful flowers, such as roses.
Others are maintained as hedges, carefully groomed to become a living fence.
Bushes can also be pruned to become topiary, living sculptures. Horses, giraffes, and other animals are common topiary themes.
Bushes attract garden guests such as hummingbirds and butterflies, and they provide berries, seeds, and shelter for birds and other small animals.

Since bushes are woody, how do they differ from trees? Trees are generally at least twice the height of a bush - bushes are generally less than 10 feet tall.
Also, trees have one or two dominant stems, or trunks, whereas bushes host many stems, and none are dominant. Some plants, such as the lilac or crepe myrtle bushes, may grow to the height of a tree with a single bare trunk under the right conditions.
The term "bush" can also refer to wild, undeveloped wilderness lands that, not surprisingly, are home to many plants of the same name.
This term is most widely used in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Alaska, and Canada.
