Is it poison hemlock, and if so, should we remove it? I did read how to remove it on MSUs page about it.
Thanks so much

Hi Kelsey -
I'm not sure that what you have is hemlock. How about another possibility? You might have some Angelica there. It's hard for me to tell, so here are a couple of links that you can use to compare to the plant. Angelica is native to Michigan.
