Can you identify this shrub?
I live in southeastern Indiana and this shrub is all over a park we camp at a lot,,,Never seen stems like this. Thanks.

Dear Gardener,
Your plant looks like Euonymus alatus, also known as Burning Bush or Winged Euonymus. This shrub is listed as a noxious weed in the mid-Atlantic region. See attached description from Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas.
