Trees v. bushes v. flowers/veggies

As part of my prep for Cottage Living, I'm going through and making small tweaks to some of my existing lots. Space for a chicken coop, an extra raised bed for the new berries, etc. So I've been thinking a lot about the existing state of gardening.

Bugs aside, one of the things that used to annoy me to no end was that trees would always revert to a dirt pile at the end of their growing season. I hated this with a fiery passion, because (a) obviously trees don't do that in real life, and (b) I wanted to use fully grown trees as part of year-round landscaping, again, as one does in real life. Now, eventually they fixed this, and mostly this works as it should in my game now. Meanwhile, obviously your tomato plants and your tulips and such should die back to the ground at the end of their season(s), because that is in fact what they do in real life. But the bushes still bother me. Roses and holly and other bushes obviously don't flower out of season, but they do remain full (and even continue growing) almost year-round, and they certainly don't die all the way back to the ground. They can also be an attractive part of year-round landscaping, just like trees.

So, it's not particularly urgent, but I hope this is something the team will tweak at some point. I like having rose bushes on either side of the front porch for many of my households, and it's so depressing to see that big dirt blotch there most of the year when instead they could have nice full shrubs even when there are no flowers.
