Hedges were developed by using a limited number of species of shrubs and trees, and as the hedge ages, more varieties of shrubs and trees seed in naturally.
The age of a hedge is calculated by counting the number of shrubs and trees in 30 meter lengths within a given area, minus 3, times 100.

Although the brilliant fall coloring has meant that the winged spindle tree is often overused in landscaping, it does create excellent color, especially when reflected in water.

 'Burning Bush' Is Most Dazzling Autumn Shrub   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
The winged spindle tree is from China, but the hard, fine-grained wood of another Euonymus species was once used in Europe for making spindles.
Because of the plant's naturally neat growth habit, it is ideal as a low-maintenance specimen plant, whether it is standing alone as the centerpiece of the lawn, nestled into a large planting bed along with flowers and other shrubs, or grown as a clipped hedge.
Burning bush is a pleasing shrub even in seasons when it's not "on fire." The plant actually bears quite a pretty fruit, a red capsule that parts to expose an orange-red seed.
