It's roughly 10-12 years old...belongs to my neighbor, as does the burning bush, which incidently was supposed to be the dwarf form....it obviously was mislabeled.

If that's the same thing as Euonymus atropurpureus (different spelling than that listed here at PDB), that's a native and endangered plant here in the great state of Florida. Euonymus americanus is also native and probably more realistic for my area. I think that's also called hearts-a-burstin' or strawberry bush if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for the info.
