  My sister gave me a burning bush in the summer of 1999 as a house warming gift...I planted in an area where it receives early morning and late afternnoon sun...it has doubled its size and is very healthy looking...BUT...it has never "burned" , in the fall... does anyone have an explaination for this or any suggestions ?? Thanks , Kyla in NB zone 5

    Kyla: I've never heard of that happening before. I have four bushes and they "burn" beautifully in the fall. Are you absolutely sure it's a true burning bush. That would be the only thing I could think of. Sorry.

    Whey don't you move your burning bush this spring and see what happens in the fall?? Good Luck
