Bushy

In the context of computer science (specifically the binary tree data structure) bushy refers to a tree in which most nodes have their full load of children. (In the case of a binary tree, this is two)

Having bushy trees is nice for tree operations as the more bushy a binary or other type of search tree is, the faster the operation can be completed.
