| I have a space next to the house, full sun, and I'm looking for the right type of Burning Bush to place there. I'd like it to get about 5 x 5 or so. Thanks for any suggestions! |

| I kind of doubt you'll find anyone recommending a Euonymus alatus (the species most commonly referred to as a "burning bush"), since that species is an invasive (environmentally damaging) plant in your state! There are many alternatives. Your state's extension office provides the following recommendations in a published list of invasive alternatives: Euonymus americanus (hearts-a-bustin, American strawberry bush) If any of these interest you, you may want to research their appropriateness for your application (climate, size, soil conditions, etc, etc). Your local extension office might also provide valuable input about alternatives that would work well for your local (your county) conditions. |
