Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Siebold Burning bush, winged spindle, winged euonymus
Burning bush, so-called for its brilliant red fall foliage, is a native of northeastern Asia. It was introduced to North America in the 1860s as an ornamental plant. It spreads rapidly and is now classified as an invasive. Identification: This shrub grows up to 10' (3 m) tall. Leaves are 1-3" (2.5-7.6 cm) long, and about ½-¾" (1.3-1.9 cm) wide. Branches have unusual "wings"—four brown corklike protrusions running the length of each branch. This is the easiest way to identify this euonymus. Flowers are inconspicuous. Berries are oval in shape, sharply pointed at each end, and bright red-orange, encased in a capsule that may be yellow, pink, purple, or orange. Leaves turn bright red or red-purple in the fall.
