Brittlebush, saltbush, and Bebbia are some common shrub forms.

At high elevations, and in areas with poor soils or little rainfall, shrub forms are the norm.

The shrub form appears to develop as a result of coppice regeneration following burning and enables the species to survive in the eucalypt savannas of Northern Australia which are subject to frequent fire.

Others are splendid shrub form, beautiful summer flowers with toughness through adversities of climate.

In the shrub form, several stems arise from the woody base known as the lignotuber.

Those classes with both climbing and shrub forms are often grouped together.

For example, 'Climbing Peace' is designated as a "Climbing Hybrid Tea," for it is genetically identical to the normal "shrub" form of the 'Peace' hybrid tea rose, except that its canes are long and flexible, i.e. "climbing."

In the reconnaissance survey, fourteen species of coastal strand plants (six trees, seven ground cover or shrub forms and the invasive aquatic water hyacinth.

Both the shrub form and grafted standard may be grown in large containers.
