Euonymus oxyphyllus, or Korean Spindle tree, is a flowering plant, native to areas including central/eastern China, Manchuria, Korea, Japan and the Kurils, is part of the Celastraceae family. As a shrub or small tree, it reaches approximately 8 ft. and is a top pick of the Royal Horticultural Society for smaller gardens due to its eye-catching Autumn foliage and fruits.
The tree's inflorescence presents a twice or thrice-branched cyme, bordered by petals which are rounded and greenish purple. The fruit, nearly globose and pendulous on slender stalks, reveals a rich carmine before opening, exposing bright scarlet-coated seeds. The tree's fruit is easily distinguished by its slightly raised lines as opposed to the prominent wings of the species E. latifolius.
During autumn, its leaf color morphs into a warm purplish-red shade, complementing the glowing orange of the seeds and the maroon of the capsules, offering a grand visual display.
