Introducing Euonymus europaeus, commonly known as the European Spindle Tree, a visually captivating yet low-maintenance addition to your garden, known for its striking fall fruit and potential as a small tree or a large shrub. Native to Europe and Western Asia, this hardy deciduous shrub grows 12-20 feet tall and 10-16 feet wide, featuring a narrow to rounded form that matures beautifully over time. Flourishing in USDA Hardiness Zones 4–7, it thrives in well-drained, alkaline soils, and offers the versatility of accommodating both full sun and part shade conditions.

While its flowers might be inconspicuous, blooming yellowish-green from April to June, its real charm lies in its showy pinkish-red capsules that split open in fall to reveal bright orange fleshy seeds. These seeds are not only a visual delight but also attract birds who aid in their dispersal. Ideal for a hedge or naturalized setting, this plant prefers consistent, even moisture, especially when positioned under full sun. Despite its allure, caution is advised in selecting planting sites, as it can become invasive, particularly in some U.S. regions. Enhance your landscape with the unique appeal of the European Spindle Tree, a testament to rich foliage and vibrant fall transition.
