Burning bushes have lots of suckers. The are cousins to Nandinas. Cut them back very low to the grow to about 6 inches if you can. Spray them with equals parts of salt and water. That will kill the roots. If you can,t manage that since I don’t know just how many you have you can torch them in the winter or pull them out with a farm jack. The latter is a pain but it will get rid of them.
