Topic: Is this a burning bush? [Solved] - Euonymus alata

[Jim]

While we were in Tennessee, my Mom had a couple of these in her front yard.  They grow wild and in fact she had marked several like this down on the farm that we dug and brought back home with us.  We gave one to Aunt Bonnie and brought two to our house.  My Dad called them a "burning bush".  Is there another name?

It looks like it to me.

It does to me, too.

I did some Googling and this thing is invasive.  It's not on the bad list maintained by Clemson University but it is on the watch list.  I guess that is why there are so many of them down at the farm in Tennessee.  They must be trying to compete with the red cedar.

Anyway I will mark this one as solved.  Looks like Dad was right! Again!
