Burning Bush, a non-native species from China and Korea, has escaped from the ornamental plantings into neglected urban and rural areas. It travels by way of its seed or by our trucks which will deliver and we can plant for you. This vase-shaped shrub has outstanding red fall foliage, which blazes for weeks in early to mid-autumn. Burning Bushes are usually sheared into hedges or globes in landscape plantings. If left unpruned, the compact form of Burning Bush will grow to about 12 feet tall and 15 feet wide, and the species (winged) form will grow to about 15 feet tall and 20 feet wide. In our area it propagates naturally in shaded areas. We obtain some of our stock from seedlings we gather from a small farm cemetery on our property. See how we dig many of our plants at our farm. Burning Bush is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions. Fertile to sterile, organic to clay, acidic to alkaline, rocky to sandy this plant proves its vigor. It does not like wet soils, but does well in dry soils. Its small fibrous roots are near the surface and responds well to root pruning. Balling and burlapping this shrub does little damage for the plant can take abuse and recover quickly. If you have a brown thumb, then this plant is for you. Yet, why not have us deliver and plant them for you? We will deliver to most East Coast locations...
