Answer

SHRUB

A shrub is a small to medium sized woody plant that differs from a tree by having multiple stems and being shorter in height. The word comes from Old English 'scrob' meaning brushwood. Shrubs are popular in landscaping for creating borders, hedges, and adding structure to gardens.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has only one vowel, which can make it tricky. If you are getting mostly consonants confirmed, consider words with fewer vowels. Words with SH and BR combinations are less common but worth exploring when your usual guesses are not working.
