Question
What is the ruling on using a shrub on Shabbat? Is it considered a tree or grass?
Answer
Hello,
A shrub that is 30 cm tall and hard is considered a tree in this context, and it is prohibited to use it.
The opinion of the Taz is that even a soft shrub is prohibited to use, but the halacha is according to the Rema, that only a hard shrub is prohibited to use.
