Introducing the captivating Euonymus bungeanus var. Pendula, commonly known as Winterberry Euonymus. A striking choice for any landscape, this small ornamental tree or shrub is native to China and Korea, growing gracefully to reach heights of 15-24 feet with an appealing spread of 10-15 feet. Its slender, pendulous branches and elliptical, finely serrated leaves transform with the seasons, displaying a stunning array of colors. In spring, the tree adorns itself with inconspicuous yellowish-green flowers that make way for eye-catching spherical yellowish-pink fruit capsules. These capsules burst open in fall to reveal scarlet seeds, creating a spectacular seasonal display that is nothing short of breathtaking.
Winterberry Euonymus is renowned for its resilience, thriving in a variety of soil conditions, including urban environments. It is drought tolerant and can withstand black walnut toxicity, offering an excellent low-maintenance choice for gardeners. Ideal for mass planting, hedges, or as an ornamental specimen, this tree flourishes in full sun to part shade. While it requires minimal upkeep, prune in late winter to maintain its shapely form.
