Landscapers plant shrubs by the dozen along foundations, parking lots and property lines, and few homeowners remember what went in. Our shrub identifier names a shrub from a photo of its foliage, flowers, fruit or winter twigs, returning its scientific name with a link to more details. Whether it is a viburnum, spirea, ninebark or red-twig dogwood, you can then plan pruning, spacing and replacements.
How It Works
Shoot a branch tip with three or four leaves, keeping the twig in view so the leaf arrangement shows. A second photo of the whole shrub helps with habit (upright, mounding, arching), and fall fruit or winter bark color is useful when leaves are gone. You get the botanical name, and Wikipedia covers mature size, hardiness and growth rate.
Key Benefits
- Gives the exact species name you need to buy a matching replacement for a gap in a hedge
- Reveals mature size, so you can tell whether a shrub crowding a window will ever stay small
- Works in winter for shrubs with distinctive bark, like red-twig dogwood or peeling ninebark
- Helps check whether a volunteer shrub is a wanted native or an invasive like Japanese barberry or privet
- Free online identification, no sign-up for the first photo each day

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about shrub identifier
Take a photo of one branch with several leaves and any flowers or fruit, then upload it. The identifier returns the shrub's scientific name, which you can use to look up its size and care.
Photograph the twig tip with its buds, the bark, and any dried fruit or seed heads. Opposite or alternate buds, bark color and leftover berries narrow it down considerably.
Both have opposite leaves, but dogwood leaves have veins that curve and run parallel to the leaf edge, while viburnum veins usually run straight to the margin and leaves are often toothed. Dogwood leaves also show stretchy white threads when gently torn apart.
Once you have the scientific name, check your state or province's invasive plant list. Japanese barberry, burning bush, privet and bush honeysuckles are commonly listed across North America.
Yes. Photograph a single branch pulled slightly out of the hedge so the leaves are not blended with the mass behind it.
