What is the name of this plant?

[Ga-Spur]

This plant grows to 10 feet tall ; but most are under 6 feet. What are they called?

Thank you for your help. I have never had a reason to post a picture. I have to get some practice in so I will remember how to do it.

It is likely the most preferred native food of deer. Probably why it is not as abundant as it used to be - ecologically too many deer!

It is Strawberry Bush or Euonymus Americana (spelling may be off, its been a looooonnnnnggggg time). I have 4 healthy plants in my yard. I seldom see it in the "deer woods" eventhough I do have a cognizant eye out for them.

Great photos!

JBowers, thanks so much. That was the correct spelling . I had called it several names. There is a lot of information on the net once you have the correct name. Thanks once again.

Almost correct spelling...

Good job, John! Actually the ending of the specific epithet is spelled a little differently...

Euonymus americanus

One of the other common names is "hearts a burstin" or "hearts a burstin' with love"

Great pics!

Euonymus americanus

Thanks

I suppose it depends on which spelling you like the feminine americana or the masculine americanus.
