(1) Evergreen灌木 plants: such as ligustrum lucidum, Photinia serratifolia, etc., leaves are evergreen and cold-resistant.
(2) Deciduous灌木 plants: such as honeysuckle, spiraea, etc., leaves will fall off in winter.
(3) Semi-evergreen灌木 plants: such as roses, forsythia, etc., between evergreen and deciduous.
2. Classification according to leaf shape
(1) Needleleaf灌木 plants: such as pine, cypress, etc., leaves are long and thin, needle-like.
(2) Broadleaf灌木 plants: such as osmanthus, begonia, etc., leaves are large, elliptical or inverted ovate.
3. Classification according to flower color
(1) Single-color flower灌木 plants: such as crape myrtle, purple leaf plum, etc., flowers are single-colored.
(2) Multicolored flower灌木 plants: such as honeysuckle, peony, etc., flowers are rich in color.
4. Classification according to use
(1) Ornamental灌木 plants: such as cherry blossoms, osmanthus, etc., with high ornamental value.
(2) Medicinal灌木 plants: such as honeysuckle, schisandra, etc., with medicinal value.
(3) Economic灌木 plants: such as wolfberry, prickly ash, etc., with economic value.
Characteristics of灌木 plants:
1. Strong adaptability:灌木 plants can adapt to various environmental conditions during growth, such as drought, cold, and barrenness.
2. Vigorous vitality:灌木 plants have a strong growth momentum, are easy to propagate and plant.
3. Significant ecological benefits:灌木 plants play an important role in improving ecological environment and protecting biodiversity.
Applications of灌木 plants:
1. Landscaping:灌木 plants can be used in landscape design, such as flower beds, hedges, edges of lawns, etc.
2. Ecological restoration:灌木 plants have significant effects on soil erosion and water conservation.
