Euonymus alatus is commonly known as burning bush because of its almost neon-red fall color
Burning bush is a woody shrub that thrives in a shady understory with well-draining soil, but it can also grow in full or part sun
Its height at maturity is typically 10-15 feet, but landscape shrubs are often pruned to be smaller
The elliptical leaves are one to two inches long and are arranged oppositely with finely toothed margins
