Burning

Uploaded: February 26, 2012

Description

Often referred to as a 'Burning Bush', the Winged Euonymus or Spindle Tree/Shrub is one of the great beauties of the autumn season.

It is distinguished by vibrant scarlet foliage and small red-orange fruit in the fall as well as unusual corky "wings" which flare out along its branches.

It is effective used in mass plantings, in a shrub border, as an accent plant or as a neat attractive hedge. You should be aware that the species can grow to be 15+ feet.

Chilly in Philly!

Have a Wonderful Day!!<:))
