About the Burning Bush - Compacta :
The Burning Bush, Euonymus alatus 'Compacta' has an outstanding red fall color. The deep dark red leaves almost glow with
color in the fall. The plant is shade tolerant but has inferior fall color and reduced density in shade. Burning Bush transplants
easily and may be sheared. The corky wings on the twigs hold winter snow, outlining the branch structure.
The orange and red fruit is ornamental if produced in quantity, but plants vary in the amount of fruit they produce. Burning
Bush is a favorite winter food of rabbits and mice. This deciduous bush withstands acidic or alkaline soils and a wide range
of temperatures. Established plants can take some drought too.
