Plant Spotlight of the Week: Burning bush or winged euonymous
This harbinger of fall is just beginning to show its fantastic red color. A shrub that in its standard form will grow to between 12 and 15 feet in height or a dwarf variety going to about six feet tall. It has deep green leaves during the growing season and in the fall, will turn a bright fire-engine red color. The unique characteristic of the burning bush is also the shape of its twigs. They are almost square in shape with interesting bark ridges or “wings” which will add a different dimension to the winter landscape. The burning bush can tolerate a good deal of shade as well as performing very well in full sun.
