The common name “burning bush” comes from the bright red fall color. This deciduous shrub grows to 6.1 m tall, often wider than tall. As with the related Euonymus phellomanus, the stems are notable for their four corky ridges or “wings.”
It is a Japanese species of brambles, related to blackberries and raspberries. It has palmately lobed leaves with large teeth along the edges. Flowers are white, and fruits are orange.
The persimmon (kaki) is a sweet, slightly tangy fruit with a soft to occasionally fibrous texture. The flowers have four crown-shaped sepals and four petals.
It is easily identifiable by the large, bright orange to red papery covering over its fruit, which resembles paper lanterns. The flowers are white, with a five-lobed corolla 10–15 mm across, with an inflated basal calyx.
The tree has small white flowers. It produces small, bright red berries. The fruit is bitter and astringent, making it inedible when raw. The fruit can be cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces and marmalade.
