I am going to perform a no-no here, and that is to write about an invasive species’ qualities. The New Hampshire Legislature has now banned the sale of burning bush, the vivid euonymus shrub, by landscapers.

I have several dazzling specimens around this property because they came with the house. It does well under the sugar maples, providing high contrast to their orange-gold fall color. I like this New England mixture that we are now used to; it is one of the great beauties of our fall foliage season.
