Woody plants
In the immortal words of Monty Python: "We want a shrubbery!". Basically, they were asking for a bed filled with those plants that have a permanent, above-ground, 'woody' structure. But there are subtle differences.
Woody plants naturally enter a period of dormancy or "winter rest." This process is key to woody plant survival in cold climates. Dormancy develops gradually within buds as the days become shorter in late summer.

How to Prune Woody Herbs
Early spring - remove dead and broken wood, once you see signs of new growth beginning. Shrubby herbs (lavender, rosemary, sage, thyme...) don't need to be pruned at all, unless they've become leggy or overgrown.
Woody Ornamentals for Southern Gardeners

Woody Natives
While this is not the only native woody plants that we can grow, it is a good start. Some will be easier to find than others, but check with your local nursery to see what they have.
Woody Stems
For woody plants such as lilac, dogwood, mock orange, pear, and heather, be sure to split the stems at the ends rather than smash them. This will keep vascular tissues intact and create more surface area to absorb water.

Wounding Deliberately cutting plant stems to increase root formation.
Weeping Dropping conspicuously, pendant.

For woody plants (trees, shrubs, and vines): If you desire more vigorous growth, apply 1/2 pound nitrogen (N) only. This amount of nitrogen can be supplied by applying 2 1/2 pounds ammonium sulfate 21-0-0 or 1 1/2 pounds ammonium nitrate 33-0-0.
A nonwoody plant which grows and lives for more than two years. Perennials usually produce one flower crop each year, lasting anywhere from a week to a month or longer.

A shrubby, woody perennial, lavender bears silvery-green foliage that provides a pretty foil for colorful flower companions. Its gray leaves also make it a standout in evening gardens designed to shine in the moonlight.
Shrubs are woody plants often with multiple stems or trunks and are shorter than 12 feet in height. Trees are more than 12 feet in height when mature. Most trees have single trunks, though there are a number of exceptions.
Conifer - Woody trees and shrubs that produce cones. Common conifers include pines, firs, spruce, juniper, redwood and hemlocks.

The disease is characterized by elongated, rough black swellings or knots that develop on the woody portions of infected trees.
Symptoms: With virus infection, a dark brown line forms at the graft union and extends into pits and grooves in the woody tissue. This girdling causes interveinal chlorosis of the leaves of the scion, and the tree dies.
Choose shoots that are semi-mature with a hard, woody base that is still soft enough to cut through with a pair of shears, and which has a soft tip with new growth. Cut ½ inch or so below a node, on an angle.
Another problem in unplanted areas is woody species that appear. This can be poison oak, poison ivy or any other woody plants that come up. Here, Dr. Garden recommends Brush Buster to take care of these woody plants.
