    Hello, thanks in advance for helping identify this one in my yard. I have a few of them but mostly they are about 8 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Distinctive brown/purple branches. Currently flowering (May 24) with loads of tiny flowers.

    It's a Euonymus. I'll let someone else do the species.
    Do the leaves turn bright red in the fall and do some of the more structural stems have wings? That would be E. alatus.

    Yes I believe that’s it! Euonymus Alatus (Burning Bush). Yes the leaves do turn red. Thanks so much!
