Shrub vs tree

On the Main page today, this article says, "Banksia sphaerocarpa, the fox banksia, is a shrub (occasionally a tree) in the family...", which I thought was strange because I thought something was a shrub xor a tree? I came here because I thought the article would explain to me how it can be both but didn't find but one sentence about this which only said, "It is the largest of the varieties, encountered as a large shrub or small tree to 4 m (13 ft) high". It is an odd statement and I think requires more explanation. How do botanists distinguish between a shrub and a tree? It it solely by phenotype? Genetics? Is it a sharp or fuzzy classification?

File:Banksia sphaerocarpa map.png says "Yes, I know it looks like rubbish. This was a failed attempt at compositing. I will recomposite shortly, but first I want to use this version to discuss some issues arising."

Should we keep using this map? A455bcd9 (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
