Are you thinking of a burning bush? The shrub most people call burning bush is bright red every fall and grows 8 to 10 feet wide. It is most properly called Euonymus alatus 'compacta' and the vivid red color is influenced by the soil and water each autumn. I do not know of any particular varieties so visit the nursery now while they are in color and pick one out. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
