Strangest looking bush I ever saw. And it has a connecting piece? How do you trim a row of these?

One of the best parts, hands down.

@MeisterDad:
Dunno, but watering seems easy. They’ve all got hose connectors, so you can even chain them together.

These are amazing for adding fingers to constraction figures. Absolute god send

Useful part. Just got out a set with this part from my collection yesterday to rebuild it. Was set 31071 Drone Explorer.

Line these up on a technic rod and you have yourself a snazzy ladder!

Bushing, not bush

Was always impressed with how these were used to create the Tardis console in the Lego Ideas set.

So this is how George gets in touch with George W?

This piece was designed for pneumatic tube management. It functions as both a splice and a tie-down.

@JGW3000:
Since before I was really even aware that there’s an online AFOL community, “bush” has been used as shorthand for “bushing”. It’s like that on Bricklink, LDraw, and Peeron. And evidently it’s like that in Billind, too. It might even be where AFOLs picked it up in the first place.
