Wahoo Burning Bush, Euonymus atropurpurea, 20 Seeds (Showy, Fall Color, Hardy)Eastern Wahoo is a deciduous shrub or small tree which is most often grown for its attractive red berries and fall color. It is native to Eastern North America in open woods and thickets, near streams and on wooded slopes. It typically appears as an upright, spreading, deciduous shrub with an irregular crown growing to 10 to 15 feet tall. Dark green elliptic to ovate leaves to 5 inches long turn red in fall. Small, purple flowers appear in the leaf axils in late spring and are not particularly showy but are followed by bright 1/2 inch fuchsia pink capsules containing seeds that develop a bright, scarlet aril in autumn and dangle from the branches well into winter. Fruit is attractive to wildlife and is often considered to be the best ornamental feature of the shrub.
