Well my wife works for a Nursery(shrubs, trees, etc...) and she just informed me that Massachusetts passed a law that will NOT allow Burning bushes to be sold in Massachusetts anymore!! These bushes are called burning bushes because they turn a fiery red in the fall.
The reason they are not allowed to sell them anymore? Well it seems some tree huggin botanists did a study and found them to be "too aggressive" in the way they grow. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Well I better up my insurance and put a fence around my burning bushes. GOD only knows what they'll be worth in another ten or more years!!:lmao: Somebody call little shop of horrors!!

A burning bush is too aggressive? Give me a freaking break. I think the only thing around here that can't be sold is Ash trees, because of the emerald ash borer. Little bug that kills the trees. Has come from Michigan & heading south.

I believe the Mass Govt is about as bad as there is avaliable! LOL! But I could be wrong! I could get really political here, but I will not. I am pretty sure, we all are on the same page.

Yeah, no need to get political....it's just an understood reality, we're definitely on the same page. MA is probably the biggest rip off in the US on every level. At least CA and Hawaii get nice weather for all the BS they put up with and the high cost of living.
I've yet to find out what research was done to come to this conclusion with the plant....the other thing I'd like to know is why the hell I paid for that research?
