  • Question

    The woods behind my house is covered with this stuff. I live in Plymouth Mass. I haven't captured whether it has any fruit or not yet, but I'm trying to figure out if this is a wild non-native burning bush outbreak. Are these photos enough to identify it? Do I need to get better ones? If it isn't burning bush, do you know what else it might be or what else I should look for on the plant to identify it. I took these pictures specifically because of the bright red color it takes on in fall.

    Answer

    Dear jaf, There are no images associated with your question, without them, I won't be able to assist. If you are having trouble uploading images, feel free to attach them to an email and send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I will examine them and try to help.
