Euonymus americanus (Strawberry-bush)

Euonymus americanus, commonly known as Strawberry-bush, is a deciduous shrub native to eastern North America. It is a suckering plant, meaning it forms new shoots from its base, creating dense clusters of stems. The plant gets its common name from its bright red capsule fruits that resemble strawberries, which mature in autumn and persist through winter. Strawberry-bush features green leaves that turn yellow, orange, and red in the fall, adding to its ornamental value.
