Anyone know of a good site so I can try to figure out what kind of tree,shrub,bush or what ever you call it is. I found this tree in the woods while deer hunting and its the only one I have ever seen like this.Its real noticable because it was the only tree in the woods with the pinkish neon leaves still on the tree in November. I have pictures of it and also a close up of the bark if anyone is good at identifing trees. I have a couple cuttings that I took from it that is doing really well.

It's cool that you are into trees as well as deer. Good thing too. Because if you weren't, the deer wouldn't have ANYTHING TO HIDE BEHIND. (I want to see the tree pic, you have made me curious).

Brooks,

That is Euonymus alatus compacta, also called Winged Euonymus or Burning Bush after that intense red fall color. It was brought here from Asia & has escaped cultivation. In some places around here it has become a weed.

You know how much a 5 gallon burning bush costs in Sequim? $40. Sheesh! They are awesome for some fall color in the landscape though.
