Animal Crossing: New Horizons' latest update has brought shrubs to Nintendo's extremely-popular life sim, giving players a whole new way to decorate their islands. These shrubs in ACNH are purchased from Leif, a special sloth villager that will occasionally appear in front of Resident Services, and there a number of different types that he can sell. For players that are curious about all of the varieties of shrubs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, those can be found below alongside details on if it possible to breed them.

Is There Shrub Breeding in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Many fans will know that it is possible to breed flowers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by putting them in specific configurations, and this may lead some players to wonder if it possible to breed shrubs in a similar fashion. Currently, all indications point to bushes behaving exactly like trees in ACNH, which means that there is no shrub breeding or shrub cross-breeding to be performed.
Indeed, it seems that the only way to obtain more shrubs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to buy them, and players should thus plan to stock up when Leif's shop is in town. To note, Leif's inventory is continually changing, and fans may need to wait for him to make several visits before they get they exact shrubs that they are looking for.
While shrubs are a fairly massive addition to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, opening up tons of new options for landscaping, they are only one part of what has been added to the game with the most recent update. The other notable addition is none other than ACNH's art gallery, and fans should make sure to keep an eye out for Redd, a shady fox that sells paintings and sculptures, while they are busy adding bushes to their islands.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
