No, it isn't and you know, I haven't a clue where it came from; I know several around this town have planted them, and my friend who suggested a burning bush knew about them, so why haven't I asked her? I will today if I happen to see her, and when I find out, I will let you know. Now I am curious about it, too.
So far, no culprit has been chewing on it; I have a lot of cottontails, which means I also have skunks, coons, coyotes, bobcats, rattlesnakes and just about everything that is hungry. Of course none of them would chew on it, unless it could be a pack rat. I am sure the first one was finished by the rabbits.
