Tree id unknown


Question
I have tried, but cannot find what this tree is. It has four sided single fruit with four orange seeds inside. I have several picture if the fruit and leaves if I may send them to help id this tree.
Terre Haute, IN 47802

Answer
The best I can determine is winged euonymus, Euonymus alatus sometines called Burning Bush because of its red foliage in the Fall. Here is a link to a web site that gives more information. There are several kinds the one discribed has wings on the twigs.  http://www.cnr.vt.edu/DENDRO/dendrology/syllabus/factsheet.cfm?ID=282

The other guess was one of the anise trees but the leaves do not match real close but it does have this type fruit. I will stay with the burning bush as my choice

Wahoo!!! Yes I think you have the right one Euonymus atropurpureus  here is a link http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/herbhunters/wahoo.html
