What is this shrub?
6 years ago
Found this shrub growing in our backyard (Bay Area, CA). It's about 3 feet tall. Tried to ID it via an app, and it came up as spotted water hemlock. It did have a strong scent when we trimmed the branches. I'm convinced the app must be wrong, since it looks like it was intentionally planted by the previous owners as part of the overall landscaping design. What else could it be?
