This is a burning bush, right? (Though it's a little tall for a bush...) Can you tell if it's the native version or an invasive one?

Yep.

Which means non-native. Look at how the fruit is held, that is certainly a noticeable different if you Google pictures of both Euonymus alatus and Euonymus americanus.

Here is a link that might be useful: Euonymus americanus fruit

Well, I didn't think it would be americanus. I thought it might be atropurpureus, which looks pretty similar to me.

I guess I have one more thing to get rid of now, in addition to all the glossy buckthorn I've found.
