A Long Island homeowner has a plant spreading across their property and wants to know its identity and if it can be transplanted this late in the season.
Expert Answer: The plant is Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus), a common shrub in the tri-state area (PA, NY, NJ) known for brilliant red fall foliage. It comes in dwarf and larger tree-like varieties. The best transplant time is late fall to early spring when the plant is dormant. However, you can try transplanting now by digging a generous root ball with surrounding soil. Water thoroughly after moving. Given the plant's hardiness, some may survive even with summer transplanting, but success rates are higher during dormancy.
