Asian Spindle Tree

Euonymus

Euonymus sachalinensis   

While wooing us all year long, this impressive, yet slow growing oriental jewel really struts its stuff in autumn. Hailing from Sakhalin, a northern Japanese Island, the Asian Spindle Tree’s arching branches show off plentiful pendant, purple-red flowers, and by late summer waxy, five-pointed scarlet pods open to reveal bright orange seeds.

The whimsical-looking fruit ornament bare limbs even after the somewhat broad, thick lustrous leaves have transmuted their fiery autumnal reds and yellows.

Thriving in a partially shady, moist, well drained locale, Euonymus sachalinensis requires little care, and when combined with the red berries of Arctostaphylos ‘Wood’s Compact’ a fervid late season fiesta is yours to enjoy!

Blooms May–June.

Size: 8'–10' high x 10'–12' wide; hardy to zone 5.
