Euonymus alatus
Staff Favorite!
Tamarack is a small to medium-sized native conifer tree featuring needles that turn an attractive gold before dropping in the fall.
This cold-tolerant tree grows well in very wet conditions, as long as it is exposed to full sun.
Burning Bush is a unique shrub whose leaves turn firey red in the fall. You can plant it in rows to make a hedge or on its own. Burning Bush requires little maintenance and thrives in just about any kind of soil, which makes it a good choice for inexperienced growers. Plant it in full sun to get its best fall color.
Note: Burning Bush is considered an invasive species in eastern North America. Please plant the right tree in the right place.
