Hi, I live in NE Mass and just bought my house. I have several of these bushes in the yard and have not been able to identify them. They are about 6 - 7 feet tall and seem to be spreading width wise. I have no idea if they are a weed or what. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Green,
Congratulations on your new home!* It appears you have Euonymus alatus aka winged euonymus aka burning bush.* Unfortunately in most areas it has become an invasive species.* Scroll down at this first site to #2.*

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
