Noted for its spectacular fall foliage and very ornamental berries.. Eunonymus Alatus Compactus (Burning Bush) is a compact, medium-sized, spreading, deciduous shrub of great interest. Its foliage of elliptic, rich green leaves in spring to summer turns impressive scarlet red in the fall, before shedding to the ground, revealing thin tan strips interrupting the subtle green colour of the stems In late spring to early summer, a profusion of tiny, non showy, greenish flowers appear before being replaced by purplish-red fruits that mature during the fall. At this time, each fruit capsule splits oen to reveal orange-coated seeds which hang on far into winter.
