Euonymus europaeus, commonly known as European spindle, is mainly distributed in Europe and West Asia. It is an excellent fruit effect plant and foliage plant, so it is very popular. Its leaves are oval with irregular edges. In autumn, the leaves change from green to yellow and then to red. It is very beautiful. Its flower is very small and its color is light yellow and green, which is close to the color of its leaves. Its fruit is red after ripening, and orange seeds will be exposed after fruit cracking, which has high ornamental value. At present, it has been widely used in street trees and garden landscape layout. In addition, planting alone or with other shrubs in the courtyard can also beautify the environment.
It likes light and can withstand half shade. It likes soil with sufficient nutrition and good drainage. It has good adaptability to the environment. It can grow in dry, barren and slightly saline alkali soil, but its ornamental ability will decline. Proper fertilization during the growth period can promote the bright color of fruits. Its fruit can't be eaten. If children eat it by mistake, it may cause liver and kidney damage or even death. You can learn more at Plant Story community.
