  • Question

    A co-worker found this bush near a building on a hill. He said it is about 7 ft tall and has/had feathery leaves. No other clues.

    Answer

    Dear Kate, it looks like a large plant of Asparagus officinalis (asparagus) that is turning its usual yellow color in the Autumn. I can't see the plant close enough in the image to tell for sure, but this distant shot does look like that species.
