[APWG] [ma-eppc-brd] Mystery Shrub

[Mincy Moffett]

David,

It's not invasive from my perspective.  It can be very abundant (and thick) around old homesites, but it doesn't seem to spread or compete very well outside the homestead setting.

Does anyone see evidence of this shrub (Bridal Wreath Spirea, Spirea
prunifolia) being invasive?  I have seen it around Tennessee but usually
near current or old homesites.  I can't really say that it is invasive
though.

I'm trying to find out the identification of this shrub--there is a
large patch of this at the Glendening Preserve at Jug Bay, near to an
old homestead.

I have one in my own front yard and I call it bridal wreath, but it
doesn't look like the shrub of that name in my google image search.
Thanks for helping id it.
