The Burnings Bushes ...A Brilliant Fall Foliage Selection

Author : B Hirst

Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus)

A deciduous shrub specie from the Tree Family Celastraceae, the
Staff-Tree Family, NOT the description of a protest action
against our President

Burning Bush, a non-native species brought from China and Korea
since the 1860's, has escaped from ornamental plantings into
urban and rural areas. It travels widely by way of its seed.
This hardy plant is found in forests and brushy areas. Burning
Bushes will grow well even in SHADE, with very little sun.

It is happily, not a murderous invasive species, killing
absolutely every other plant around it like Crown Vetch, but
this "invasive" WILL cause anything below it to starve for
almost any light. It's more than just a "traveling plant."

Burning Bush is also known as the Winged Euonymous, Winged
Wahoo, Winged Spindle Tree, all for the cork-like tabs along its
branches and stems, as well as being called the Japanese Spincle
Tree, and of course, the Cork Bush. That's a lot of names.

This vase-shaped shrub has great red fall foliage which glows
for weeks in early to mid-autumn, hence, its name, Burning Bush.
Hedges can be sheared or globes created for decorative landscape
plantings, topiaries (sculpted bush art), Burning Bushes are
good for all.

Hedges from Burning Bushes can be very dense giving good
screening of wind, any sun, and create privacy, even during the
winter. If left unpruned, the compact form of Burning Bush will
grow to about 12 feet tall and 15 feet wide. The winged form
will grow to about 15 feet tall and 20 feet wide. In our area,
the Burning Bush propagates naturally in shaded areas. We obtain
some of our stock from seedlings we gather at a small farm
cemetery on our property. Burning Bush even regrows after
transplanting from the empty holes where roots are exposed!

Burning Bush is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions:
Fertile to sterile, organic to clay, acidic to alkaline, rocky
to sandy, this plant proves its strength. It does NOT like any
wet soils, it is important to note, but it does do well in very
dry soils. Burning Bush has small fibrous roots near the surface
and responds well to root pruning. Balling and burlapping this
shrub for transplanting does little damage, for Burning Bushes
can take abuse and recover quickly.

IF YOU HAVE A "BROWN THUMB," THIS IS A PLANT FOR YOU.
