Ornamental shrubs are woody plants with numerous bark covered thin and firm stems, shorter than trees, without a main trunk, with a lush and dense crown.
Of great economic importance are fruit and berry bushes. Ornamental shrubs are mainly used to decorate gardens, parks, squares, and other areas of urban and rural landscapes, as well as for indoor and outdoor landscaping, zoning of territories, and for creating plant hedges. Fruit and berry shrubs are grown to produce delicious and healthy berries.
The postage stamps provide images of common barberry, Tatarian honeysuckle, Russian almond and Elbrus sweet mock orange.
