Hi everyone. My mom is having trouble identifying a bush she planted some years back. Not sure if this is shrub or tree. It's in Zone 4, South Peace River region of BC, planted for about 10 years in a west-facing area of the yard. This is the first year she remembers the leaves being such a 'salmon' pink colour. Friends have been saying it's burning bush - but I've disagreed. There is a ton of light on it - and from what I understand, the only way the leaves of a burning bush would be pale like that is if it were light deprived. Help??
Maybe red-osier dogwood, Cornus stolonifera , a native ? The plant usually referred to as burning bush around here, Euonymus alatus , has winged stems.
