I bet you spoil your loved ones. I suspect your burning bush is getting too much fertilizer and water. You get better fall color when these shrubs are slightly stressed and they thrive in poor, rocky soil. Compost and rich soil is known to squelch the fire of a burning bush - I learned this the hard way. I even killed mine years ago by watering it too much. Just be sure it gets full sun but no fertilizer or extra water. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
