Pipsqueak® Burning Bush

There is nothing like a Burning Bush to deliver a big pop of spectacular fall color. Now you can add a tidy, compact blaze of intense crimson red with Pipsqueak® Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus 'Pipzam').

Pipsqueak® looks good all year long. All through spring and summer, you'll enjoy the mid-toned green leaves and trim, flat-topped, rounded shape. Hidden among the foliage are yellowish-green spring blooms that pollinators seek out for their rich nectar and pollen.

Then, watch the fiery fall color lick its way all through the foliage as the nights start getting cooler. It's a thrilling, dependable display! Dainty red-orange fruit forms for further late-season interest and is quickly snapped up by hungry songbirds.

Pipsqueak® can be used front and center in your landscape design. Even in winter, the textured, corky bark brings winter interest. A charming horizontal branching habit adds to the excitement. It stays full and dense all the way to the ground.

Planting and Application:

Pipsqueak® can become a perfect backdrop for your autumn get-togethers with family and friends. Get outside at half-time during your football watch parties! You can't go wrong with this dramatic, easy-care selection. It can be used in several garden applications.

Use one as a magnificent specimen. Add a second shrub for a high-impact presentation, flanking either side of your front door. Light up a foundation planting or anchor a garden bed with these 5-foot tall shrubs! Or soften the corner of a home or garage!

This is a terrific screening shrub. Use a row of them along your patio planting, or running the length of your fence line. Plant them 3 and 1/2 feet apart to create a solid screen. You'll measure from the center of the first plant to the center of the next.

Add a staggered, zigzagging series of rows to create a mass planting. Use Pipsqueak® as an attention-grabbing way to cover bare ground. Mulch between plants and keep new mass plantings weeded.

Commercial property owners should take note. Get more eyes on your business with Pipsqueak® Burning Bush planted near your entrance! No matter how you use it, Pipsqueak® will stop traffic in the fall!

Play with the spreading form with contrasting plants. Pair it with towering vertical accents like Sky Pencil Holly or Blue Arrow Juniper. Use it as a contrast behind arching Ornamental Grasses. Or, echo the horizontal branches with a curved series of Bird's Nest Spruce planted in front.

Its tight branch structure also makes it a useful snow fence or beef up a windbreak. Try a row or double row along the length of your driveway, planted against the prevailing winter winds. Den

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This smaller variety grows slowly and lives a long time with proper care. But slower growth isn't a bad thing! Think of it as a low-maintenance shrub that is here for the long run! Plant in a full sun location for the best color, but Pipsqueak® handles part shade fine too!

Give it a moderate amount of water on a regular basis to establish young plants. Provide supplemental water in extended droughts to protect your investment. Burning Bushes also tolerate a wide range of soils, with the exception of wet, poorly drained soil. The roots will rot in poor draining soils.

Provide a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist bark chips for moisture retention and to enrich the soil. This compact Burning Bush maintains a natural, pleasing shape, but can also withstand heavy pruning, which is best done right after flowering. City or urban environments are no problem for these rugged plants.
