Burning Bush – Euonymus alatus – one of fall’s glorious colors, that’s green all season long and turns colors in the fall. Word of warning it must be planted in full sun to obtain this brilliant fall color, which is produced by the sugar in the foliage.
Cornell Cooperative Extension’s mission is to enable people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work.
Master Gardener volunteers are a key link in helping CCE accomplish that mission in counties throughout the state.
If you would like to help improve your community and enjoy gardening, landscaping and related activities, please consider becoming a Master Gardener volunteer.
