Summary: bushes in Brief
Bushes [ˈbʊʃɪz] are large plants with many small branches growing either directly from the ground or from a single trunk. They can grow in groups called shrubberies or thickets. Examples include 'She planted some rose bushes in her garden' and 'The path was overgrown with bushes and weeds.' The phrase 'beat around the bushes' means to avoid talking about something directly.
