Product Information

Pruning off affected branch portions and treating with a fungicide early in the season may restore good health.

Feathered tree: Branches from the bottom of the trunk all the way up. These branches can be removed if a clear stem is required. Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole. If your soil is poor, mix 50% of the original soil with 50% high quality compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Make sure not to bank the soil up around the collar of the plant. Aftercare Advice for Euonymus alatus Trees Keep the area around Euonymus free of competing weeds and grass for the first couple of growing seasons. Pruning Advice for Euonymus alatus TreesBurning bush has long been a popular ornamental shrub in many U.S. yards and gardens. Native to Asia, it produces stunning, flame-red foliage in fall along with pretty, red berries. Unfortunately, it has proven to be invasive in many areas and several states have restricted or banned it in landscaping. The good news is that there are plenty of native alternatives to provide similar fall color. Is Burning Bush Invasive? Set the pot in a spot with bright, indirect light and keep the potting mix moist until roots have developed (you will feel resistance when you tug on the stem). This can take several weeks.

Strip off the bottom leaves, then plant the cutting in a small pot filled with moist seed-starter mix. (Some gardeners find it useful to place the planted cutting in a loosely secured plastic bag to hold in moisture.) A blend of ordinary potting mix and perlite or sand makes a good rooting medium.

Apply a three-inch layer of mulch in a circle around the shrub. It should start about four inches away from the stems to avoid rot and extend out about 10 inches, to help retain moisture and keep the roots cool.
