Fall Colors, Winter Interest, Showy Fruits, Hedge/Screen, Espalier
Scarlet Euonymus is a deciduous shrub or small tree which is most often grown for its attractive red berries and fall color. It is native to Japan, is slow growing and upright when young and eventually develops into a wide, low-branched tree or shrub 10 to 15 feet tall with smooth gray bark. Scarlet Euonymus features bright green new foliage very early in the spring turning brilliant crimson pink to scarlet in autumn. Small, purple flowers appear in late spring and are not particularly showy but are followed by bright 1/2 inch crimso pink capsules containing seeds that develop a bright, scarlet aril in autumn and dangle from the branches well into winter. Fruit is attractive to wildlife and is often considered to be the best ornamental feature of the shrub.
Scarlet Euonymus makes an excellent understory tree or a large multi-stem shrub. It does not mind pruning and can be espaliered along a fence. It will add interesting texture and form to your landscape year round, but in fall they will be the envy of the neighborhood. It is amazingly adaptable to soil types, except perhaps very wet ones and grows best in full sun or part shade.
