Euonymus Species, Hamilton's Spindle Tree, Himalayan Spindle, Japanese Spindle Tree, Yeddo Euonymus

I have a Euonymus hamiltonianus var. sielboldianus that I planted here in one of my gardens outside of Glenwood, Minnesota and it is grow...Read Moreing beautifully so far. It is still quite a young specimen but has survived four Winter seasons, so hardiness doesn't seem to be an issue. I have it planted on the east side of our home and it gets mostly morning and a bit of afternoon sun but it is otherwise shaded by the house. It is liking its location and is beginning to grow taller and wider. Not far from it, I planted a Euonymus bungeanus tree as well, and it is also doing very well. The fruiting habit of both trees is a pretty stunning sight, so I look forward to that every Fall and Winter when the colourful fruits open to reveal the beautiful bright seeds. I highly recommend this tree as well as the E. bungeanus mentioned previously. They are both stunningly beautiful smaller trees that really put on a show with both the fruits, seeds and Fall colour as well. Happy Growing To All!

Of five Euonymus species that I grow, this one is the second to have fruit color in the fall (although there are other earlier ones). I...Read Moret has the truest red and pink colors I have seen on any euonymus (I live next to an arboretum with many species). Like many euonymus, if roots are severed, suckering can be induced. At 12 years old, the shrub is 3.5m tall now. While the fruits make nice cut decoration, when dried they lose most of their color.

This shrub provides a great late fall color show in the hedge row garden. Like its cousin the Bittersweet Euonymus (e. fortunei) the seed...Read More pod opens to reveal a shiny orange seed. But in addition the pod also has a great pink color. The combination of colors is striking.
