Euonymus alatus 'Compactus' 10/2021 Burning Bush-
Euonymus alatus 'Compactus' 10/2021 Burning Bush- (Russia, Japan, China and Korea native) Burning Bush, Mature size: 6x6’, green, yellow, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW41, In Garden Bed U2,1,4 for 24.5 YEARS (Local). Planted in 1997.
Missouri Botanical Garden: Euonymus alatus, commonly called winged euonymus, burning bush, winged burning bush or winged spindle tree, is a dense, mounded, spreading, flat-topped, multi-stemmed shrub that is particularly noted for its fiery red fall foliage color. 'Compactus' is a popular burning bush cultivar. It is a deciduous shrub which is not all that "compact" since it typically grows in a mound to 10' tall with a slightly larger spread, though it can easily be kept shorter by pruning. The corky ridges are absent or very reduced in size on the stems of 'Compactus'. For a truly compact burning bush, see Euonymus alatus 'Rudy Haag' which typically grows from 3-5' tall.
