    It sounds like you may have a root related issue. I would check the plant for crown gall, which is a common disease for this plant. It may also be a form of root rot.

    Unfortunately crown gall can remain in the soil for two years, so you may not be rid of it for a while. Removing the affected stems as you did will probably slow the spread but not stop it. The only treatments are plant removal, or a biocontrol treatment option as mentioned in the second article below:

    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.
