My uncle was gifted this by his boss. His boss wasn’t sure what it was either.
I tried to get pics from a few different angles and some closer ones of the leaves and also there’s a few sneaking weeds in there ignore those lol. & those tiny flowers appear to be from one of the tiny weeds not the tree/bush.
It’s an invasive species in North America banned in multiple US states.. but you didn’t hear it from me

Burning bush…I’d destroy it unless you want it overtaking whereever you plant it

I have one (I think) and it grows like any other shrub. It isn’t overtaking anything. Not arguing its invasiveness, just adding a different experience.

Totally invasive burning bushes. They don’t multiply in front of your face, but the birds help plant their seeds in the most inconvenient places. They are bad for the ecosystem and should be burned.

*Euonymus alatus* can spread to other parts of the landscape with ease, even when you think you are controlling and isolating it. We have two that I am not allowed to get rid of and try to remove every single fruit they produce, but they STILL pop up in the woods or in my native areas.

All parts of a Burning Bush are highly toxic to dogs and cats. If your uncle has pets, he should be aware.

I don’t understand.. why are people giving plants as gifts when they don’t know anything about the plants? It’s bizarre..

It’s a burning bush. When it has new growth it red and over the summer it goes green, I have one in my garden in Scotland
