Fire Ball Burning Bush

The Fire Ball® Burning Bush is a medium-sized deciduous shrub growing into a rounded bush between 5 and 7 feet tall. It has a neat, dense growth form, making it ideal for background planting, foundation planting, on a lawn, or as a screen or hedge. It has decorative stems with interesting long ridges along them, making a feature in winter, and the summer leaves are a rich, cool green. In fall it turns into a spectacular ball of bright red leaves, far superior in every way to other forms of the burning bush.

• Spectacular fiery red fall colors
• Compact rounded form
• More cold resistant than other varieties
• Attractive ridged bark for winter effect
• Even grows under black walnut trees

Grow the Fire Ball® Burning Bush in full sun to enjoy the best fall colors. Plant in any soil that is not constantly wet, including poor urban soils and areas beneath black walnut trees. It is very cold hardy, much more so than the normal dwarf burning bush, and there will be no winter damage even when grown in zone 4. Once established this tree is moderately drought tolerant, and normally it is free of pests or diseases. It can be trimmed as needed, at any time.
