Discover the enchanting Euonymus oxyphyllus, commonly known as Korean Spindle Tree, a captivating choice for any garden enthusiast. Native to the temperate regions of central and eastern Asia, this distinctive species offers a remarkable display that will elevate your garden’s aesthetic. Whether as a shrub or small tree, reaching heights of up to 25 ft, Korean Spindle Tree showcases a beautiful transformation throughout the seasons.

In spring, subtle green flowers bloom, introducing the plant's life cycle, while summer gives way to lush, matte green foliage. As autumn arrives, these leaves evolve into a stunning tapestry of dusky purples and reds, enhancing any landscape. The unique allure of E. oxyphyllus lies in its striking fruit; deep pink, nearly globose capsules dangle elegantly from long, slender stalks, as they split open to reveal vibrant orange arils. This exquisite autumnal display, combined with its elegant wine-glass shape, makes it an exceptional choice for smaller gardens, earning high praise from the Royal Horticultural Society. Introduced to gardens in 1895, Korean Spindle's distinctive beauty and vibrant hues promise to inspire and captivate all season long.
