You moved into a house with an overgrown bush by the porch and have no idea whether to prune it now, in spring, or not at all. Our bush identifier names it from a photo of its leaves, flowers or berries, giving you the scientific name and a link to everything else about it. Knowing whether it is a lilac, a forsythia, a privet or a burning bush changes when and how you cut it.
How It Works
Photograph a single branch tip up close so the leaf shape and how the leaves sit along the twig (paired or alternating) are visible; add flowers or berries if present. In winter, a sharp shot of the buds and bark works for many species. The result is the botanical name, which you can open on Wikipedia for growth size, bloom time and toxicity.
Key Benefits
- Separates common lookalikes like boxwood (leaves in opposite pairs) and Japanese holly (leaves alternate)
- Tells you whether a bush flowers on old wood, so you do not cut off next year's blooms by pruning at the wrong time
- Helps identify bushes with toxic berries, such as yew, before children or dogs get to them
- Identifies invasive bushes like burning bush or bush honeysuckle that many US states discourage planting
- Free for one photo a day in the browser, no account or app download required

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about bush identifier
Upload a close photo of a branch with several leaves, plus flowers or berries if it has them. The identifier returns the bush's scientific name so you can look up its size, pruning time and safety.
Many ornamental bush berries, including yew, privet, holly and honeysuckle, are toxic. Never eat berries based on an app identification alone; confirm with a local expert or extension service first.
Wait until you know what it is: spring-flowering bushes like lilac and forsythia should be pruned right after blooming, while summer bloomers like many hydrangeas and spireas are usually cut in late winter. Cutting at the wrong time removes the flower buds.
Sometimes, from bark, bud shape and leftover berries or seed heads, though results are less reliable. If unsure, try again when it leafs out.
Botanically there is none; both are woody plants with several stems from the base. 'Bush' is often used for rounder, denser plants, while 'shrub' is the more common term in landscaping.
