Actually this one was trimmed/trained that way . . . naturally they tend to be more bushy. They get fairly large (for a bush) so I have both styles, depending on where I have mine located and mowing needs etc.

This photo was taken of that same plant from directly overhead, when it was just starting to bloom for the first time this year. You can see how it puts out many branches and the first ones start fairly low to the ground. I trimmed the lower ones and promoted the groth upwards so I can get my ride'n mower around it easier.
