Burning bush (Euonymus alatus), also called winged euonymus, can take over natural habitats and even regular yards, outcompeting native plants and the wildlife that depend on them. They spread mainly by the berries but they also drop their seeds and can spread around and near the plant. It’s a bummer these things are so invasive (in 21 states!) because they are beautiful in the fall. Alternative native varieties for beautiful fall color include fothergilla (pictured in the video), blueberry, cho

We had two burning bushes (Euonymus alatus) on the property when we moved in and I decided to get rid of them last November. They’re so pretty in the fall but there are other options for beautiful fall color and it was time for them to go. It can be a process. Many people are afraid of killing plants from pruning. This is extremely uncommon. When you WANT to kill a plant, however, it’s not that easy. Options: 1. Dig or pull out mechanically with tools or a truck and a chain. 2. Cut down and moni

They spread by seed dropping and berries. I’ve heard from a bunch of people that they don’t seem to spread in their yard but they have a tendency to spread farther afield. They also expand by tunneling their roots nearby. If you aren’t prepared to get rid of yours I can totally relate. Maybe one day!We just removed ours last f
