Spindle Bush – Euonymus europaeus

Vigorous, spreading deciduous shrub or small tree to 3m, with narrowly ovate leaves turning pink or red in autumn, and small greenish-white flowers followed by 4-lobed red fruits which split to reveal orange seeds. Perfect for growing in a mixed border, woodland edge or front garden, can be grown as part of a mixed native hedge with other species such as hawthorn and hazel. Grow spindle in full sun to partial shade – those in sun have the best autumn colour.
