RE: Euonymus - not all colour in your garden comes from flowers !

in #euonymus6 years ago

@ctrl-alt-nwo, That's pretty outstanding information giving about Euonymus plant. An excellent choice for a colorful hedge, this evergreen shrub displays dense, bold green and gold variegated foliage on an upright growth habit. This tough shrub is adaptable to adverse conditions and tolerates poor, lean soils. Versatile and easy to care for, it requires minimal attention once established, but takes well to regular pruning.

Nice autumn color and ornamental fruit. All parts cause mild stomach discomfort if eaten.

Witches' broom, stem dieback, powdery mildew, and fungal spots. Some pests and diseases can cause problems both in the garden and indoors, including mites, scale insects, leaf miners, aphids, and mealybugs.
