One of the most common hazards of the Verdant Growth is the Tangled Bush. This plant comes in two variations. Ordinary Tangled Bushes do not deal damage to entities that walk through them; they simply slow them, similarly to cobwebs. Thorny Tangled Bushes, on the other hand, will damage entities that move inside them! Landing on Thorny Tangled Bushes is even more painful. Tangled Bushes can be harvested with Silk Touch or shears and planted in flower pots for decoration. They will not damage entities when inside flower pots.

Tangled Bushes are broken fastest with a hoe. When broken, Thorny Tangled Bushes will drop Thorns. Ordinary Tangled Bushes will drop Sticks. Since Tangled Bushes regrow quickly, they are a good source of Thorns.
