Euonymus europaeus – Common Spindle

In stock

Euonymus europaeus is a native large shrub or small tree that appear in some of the older hedgerows and become very visible during the autumn months.  This is when the leaves turn bright orange/red and the pink seed heads appear.  

The overall shape allows us to create beautiful small multi-stem trees that can rival any Amelanchier lamarckii in the garden design, and they are native which is an extra bonus.  Beautiful strong stems with a slightly corky appearance on some allows us to crown-lift them and leaving a rounded canopy above.  

Euonymus europaeus can cope with windy conditions which makes them a good choice for tricky windy sites.
