[APWG] Euonymus Hybridizing between alatus and americanus?

[SteveYoung at aol.com]

My local park (Long Branch Nature Center/Glencarlyn Park, Arlington, VA)  has 
populations of the native Euonymus americanus (Hearts-a-burstin',  
Strawberrybush) and the exotic invasive, Euonymus alatus (Winged Euonymus,  Burning 
Bush). I have seen some plants that sure look like they are a hybrid of  the two 
species. Does anyone know whether such hybrids have been reported, or  have you 
made similar observations that you can share? I eliminate the obvious  
individuals of Eu. alatus, but some of the "hybrids" really have me stymied and  I'm 
debating the best approach to take with them. Any info is greatly  
appreciated. Cheers,
 
    Steve
