Euonymus alatus Burning Bush - 2 shrubs

Product Information

There’s not a lot to remember when you grow your own shrub. The following tips will put you on the road to success: And in some states, like Massachusetts and New Hampshire, it is actually banned, due to the potential for prolific spreading via seed dispersal. Unpot the rooted cutting and settle it into the soil so that its crown, where the roots and stem meet, sits slightly above ground level. However, keeping Kochia scoparia grass from running rampant isn’t an easy task. If you’re a denizen of prairie and desert regions, you’re familiar with tumbling tumbleweeds that occur when kochia dries and breaks off at the base of the plant. As the dry skeleton tumbles, it spreads thousands of seeds far and wide. Additionally, the sturdy roots can grow 10 feet (3 m.) into the soil in search of water. Kochia Control

Burning bush care also includes occasional pruning to keep the size down and remove any broken or damaged branches. The natural shape of the bush is appealing, so pruning is not necessary, but if you wish to trim the plant, do so in very early spring before leaves appear.CONTAINS MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI - A naturally occuring organism, Mycorrhizal Fungi has been benefiting plants in our world for millions of years. Rootgrow is a granular feed that is commonly used to promote vigourous and robust growth, even in poor soils INCREASES UPTAKE OF WATER & NUTRIENTS - Plants treated with Rootgrow develop a secondary root system, with the express purpose of seeking out new sources of water and other key nutrients that are required to keep your plants happy and healthy.

The most famous highlight of the burning bush is without doubt its foliage. While it is still green and rather inconspicuous during the summer, it turns from fiery red to pink or purple in the autumn, depending on the variety and location, making it a real eye-catcher. This also explains the common name of burning bush. The flowers of the burning bush, on the other hand, are rather inconspicuous. They are small, yellow-green and can be seen only between May and June. Instead, they develop striking red-orange capsule fruits that remain on the shrub throughout the winter and are readily eaten by birds as winter food. The fruits can also be extremely tempting to us humans – but you should not taste them, because they are poisonous to us. Other than that, maintenance needs are minimal. Use clean pruners to cut dead branches, so your shrub can refocus its efforts on feeding the healthy ones. Also, Euonymus plants in general are prone to powdery mildew, a fungal condition that may be treatable with a copper-based fungicide. If you buy a non-native shrub, you will receive a cultivated variety that has been developed from one or more species for landscaping use. And as there are no sterile cultivars available to date, self-sowing is to be expected.

Don’t apply herbicides unless you are sure the chemicals are registered for control of kochia scoparia grass. Complicating the matter even more is the fact that kochia is resistant to some herbicides, including 2,4-D. This is a good time to seek the advice of your local Agricultural Extension Agent.

Euonymus alatus‘Fireball’: Here, too, the name says it all, because the growth of the variety ‘Fireball’ is spherical. The shrub grows up to 3 metres high and almost as wide. However, it is very slow to reach these dimensions, as ‘Fireball’, like the species, grows very slowly, by about 10 to 20 cm per year. Water well, and thereafter whenever the top two inches of the soil feel dry. Use a moisture meter to help with this task. Top grafted tree: A height next to this form refers to the length of clear stem, which will not grow taller. Only the head of branches will develop. Ideal for small spaces. On the flip side, conditions that are too wet may also invite trouble, in the form of a disease called twig blight.If you are seeking to see something a bit different from ordinary autumn colours, this could be the perfect choice.
