Burning Bush - invasive?
I was thinking that a spot in my yard would be just right for a dwarf
burning bush, right by my yellow garden shed. That would look pretty nice in the fall. However, I've been hearing that Euonymus Alatus, aka winged euonymus aka burning bush, is an invasive species in the mid-Atlantic! Trying to get good information is sometimes difficult, most of what I read about the plant is positive, and they are in yards and landscapes all over the area, so I thought I'd post the question here. What's the scoop? Is it a bad idea to plant a burning bush in South Jersey? Swyck |

Burning Bush - invasive?
To my knowledge it is not on the invasice species list, not have I seen it
take over planting areas. This is Eunymous Alatus compacta. Dave wrote in message ...

It only invades Iraq, so far.

Since you can see them in yards all around you, you should believe your eyes instead of what people tell you. Some euonymus are quite vigorous and can overwhelm a small area. The burning bush tends to form a compact upright shrub with a distinctive shape. There is a hedge of them around our community pool that have been there for about 14 years. They are about 8 feet high by about 3-4 feet wide. |
