Burning bush (Euonymus alata), or "winged euonymus," has fiery fall foliage but is not well-behaved; it is considered an invasive plant.
The common name of "winged euonymus" for burning bush comes from corky ridges that protrude from its branches. The species name for burning bush, alata means "winged" in Latin. The Euonymus genus, meanwhile, is quite large and includes plants such as Emerald 'N' Gold euonymus.
