Q.Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus)

Zone Shelburne VT 05482 | marthapolliwog added on August 27, 2017 | Answered

Why would any knowledgeable person plant this extraordinarily invasive species? I grew up in Northwestern Connecticut (the Berkshires) and our 2 Burning Bush shrubs not only thrived but reproduced abundantly; it was as incredibly invasive. Who would a put up with this marauder when there are so many appealing shrubs that are just as easy to grow?

Thanks for your thoughtful response. So you have my permission to plant Euonymus alatus if you want - I'll continue to hate it!

In many areas, Burning Bush is not invasive and is a wonderful plant in the landscape.
