Euonymus japonicus aka Japanese Spindle

Euonymus japonicus, also known as evergreen spindle or Japanese spindle, is a showy flowering evergreen plant native to Japan, Korea, and China. It can grow as a shrub or small tree, reaching heights of 2-8 meters. The plant features oval leaves with finely serrated margins, measuring 3-7 cm in length. These glossy dark green leaves are toothed and ovate in shape. In summer, small pale green flowers bloom, followed by orange fruits in autumn. The fruits hang below pink seed coverings, adding a touch of flair to the plant. This species is highly adaptable and can thrive in ordinary conditions as well as near coastal areas, thanks to its resistance to wind and salt. With its attractive appearance and easy care requirements, the Japanese Spindletree is a popular ornamental plant in many countries. It is easily recognizable by its glossy, serrated leaves that are green in color, growing up to 5 cm long. The leaves become narrower towards the base, with silvery-tinted edges. The flowers, though not showy, are small and have a yellow-white or green-white color, blooming in the first half of summer. The plant's fruits, which appear in autumn, range in color from red to pink or orange. These fruits contain small seeds with a pink tint and may contain poisonous substances.
