i found this site, http://ag.arizona.edu/pima/gardening/ari...
does that look more like it?
Sorry, once again I neglected to mention the actual size. This one was about 4 feet high and about 10 feet wide. There may have been two next to each other but it was so dense, I couldn't tell.
acacia redolens can be a shrub or groundcover that can be 15 feet wide but only a few feet high. is that what you mean by large?
Hi jprat001, thank you for the ID suggestion! The only info I found on it was it was a low-growing bush or groundcover. Is there a large variety?
