Burning Bush
Manchurian Ash

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.

Manchurian Ash is a medium-sized deciduous tree.

Like Black Ash, it has long, serrated green leaves, but matches White Ash in height.

This hardy tree is a great choice for a shade tree on smaller home properties. Manchurian Ash prefers moister soils, making it a great landscape tree.

Note: Unfortunately this difficult to grow species is not currently scheduled to grow at TreeTime.ca. Perhaps try purchasing seed from SeedTime.ca and growing your own? Or sign up for a restock notification above.
