Shrub — Woody plants, excluding woody vines,
approximately 3 to 20 ft(1 to 6 m) in height.
Herb — All herbaceous (non-woody) plants, including
herbaceous vines, regardless of size, and woody
plants, except woody vines, less than approximately 3
ft (1 m) in height.
Woody vine — All woody vines, regardless of height.
