Shrubs For Fall Color

[outdoors Joe]

Are there any shrubs that provide color in the fall? I know there's a Red Twig Dogwood, but I don't want a tree. Are there any shrubs that have color on their branches, either all the time or in the fall?

Burning Bush is a lovely shrub that is red in fall. It grows in zone 3-8 and can reach 10 feet tall. It can be cut back to any size you want. There's a barberry that has a reddish-purplish color, too, but I don't know much about it. Hopefully, someone else can tell you more about it.

I was going to say the burning bush too. They are a gorgeous red! We have some of them at our place. I don't have many more, most are evergreens.

I looked the Burning Bush up and I like the color and the fact that you can cut it back to whatever size you want. The Barberry is nice, too, but I don't like the fact that it has thorns. I'll look at the others later, but I really like the burning bush. Thanks for the help everyone.
