New: “Burning Bush”

I recently learned that the beautiful Burning Bush shrub is on the “prohibited species” list here in New Hampshire. We have two on our property, bought and planted before this species became an outlaw. This one is growing freely in front of an old barn I came across in the Berkshires region of Western Massachusetts, where the plant is also an unlawful menace. Despite their supposedly invasive nature, the two I have have remained only two for the past 20 years…and in the fall, they’re the most powerfully colorful part of the yard. “Burning Bush” 20 x 20.
