Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus)

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?

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

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