The eastern Wahoo or burning bush (not to be confused with the invasive winged burning bush), is a North American shrub or small tree prized for its purple–stemmed twigs, bright red-orange fruit capsules, and astonishing fall color. It thrives in moist woodlands and along streambanks, tolerates part shade to full sun, supports a variety of wildlife by providing food for birds and small mammals. It makes an excellent, low-maintenance addition for gardeners seeking a hardy specimen that contributes meaningfully to habitat restoration and seasonal interest.
