Our burning bush has never turned red. We live in the high desert of Nevada. It is planted in front of a cedar fence with our plants. The top leaves start to turn brown in August. Do we need to fertilize or ? to get it to turn the brilliant red we expected?
I have no personal experience with growing burning bush in a climate such as yours. It’s possible that burning bush simply doesn’t perform well under the hot, dry conditions you face. Do you see other homeowners growing the shrub in your area and, if so, does theirs turn red in fall? If so, you might wish to strike up a conversation with them and learn from them the secret to growing burning bush in the high desert.
