Where are you located? In Iowa, I have noticed that the burning bush looses its leaves a bit before other shrubs may loose theirs. Same is true for the wahoo, also a member of the euonymus family. They come on again in the spring and just shed a bit early.

I am not sure about the reason for the leaves still being green but burning bushes lose their leaves annually. I don't understand why you are concerned about a yearly occurrence.

What is causing my burning bush leaves to fall off?

Have you had really hot weather lately? Is it getting enough moisture? Here in PA, it's been HOT..90 today..and my burning bush is fine. Nice and green yet. (06/18/2007)

2 of mine did this last year. They suffered heat shock because I was out of town for 10 days and we had hot weather and no water. They rebounded fine this year. (05/21/2008)

It is either too hot temperatures. OR your area has not been receiving enough rain. Try watering it every day for a while. See if it perks up a little. Here in Tennessee, even tho we have had some rain lately, we are still below the amount of rain that is needed.

You can also call your County Extension Agent about this. They have so much knowledge of your specific area, and what to do for the plants. There are County Extension Agents in every area.....even if you live in a large city that is not considered an agricultural area. (07/29/2008)

Mine does the same thing last year was the Japanese beetles and hot weather and not enough rain. But still Praise the Lord it still comes back. Love that thing. (07/30/2008)
