Well, We've had two burning bushes in our landscape for the past 30/40 years and we've also had tons of birds come and feed on other wild berry plants we also have on our property. birds will carry seeds from any plant they eat to other parts of the country, that's nature. To I think categorizing this plant or any other plant that birds feed on as invasive is a lot of BS. We planted two many years ago and we still have only two today and yes, they are very beautiful in the fall. Birds will carry all kinds of seeds from different kinds of plants to other parts of the State and beyond. So they might as well say that every plant is invasive because the birds are the ones that are replanting them. Sometimes I wonder where these college graduates get their brains.
If you want to rejuvenate your burning bush, ( in KY), what month is best? We have some right near my house that are getting too big. Should I wait until after the last frost?
Oh come on all my dogs lyed down under this bush , some dummy believes it to be toxic , all bull shit ,I'm leaving it ,don't herd me. Thank you for this information .👍
@@angry4015 because they have no natural predators in this country, they overtake the forests from native plants, and the native insects/birds/animals rely on native plants for food (directly and indirectly).
@@ethanbrazile6934 they drown out the future woodlands growth and will slowly take away all food sources from birds, deer, insects, soil biota, fungi, trees, etc... Plant native plants instead.
Some ecosystems are quite delicate, and certain species of insect rely on very specific host plants. Therefore if a non native becomes invasive and out competes native plants it can be a problem, even if it does provide some wildlife benefits.

georl1: Exactly. I'm going to plant one soon.
It's definitely a detriment to nature, but as long as you're happy it's no problem.

once you realize they play a part in starving out the birds and other native wildlife, they don't look so beautiful
How do they starve the birds? I'm thinking of buying a couple for potted plants but am rethinking it now.

Deer love these things ,, and birds eat the berrys
