Euonymus europaeus (Upright Spindle Tree)

Euonymus europaeus, commonly known as the Upright Spindle Tree, is a deciduous shrub or small tree. It is known for its distinctive, upright growth habit and its vibrant autumn foliage. The leaves are green during the growing season, turning shades of red, purple, and orange in the fall. In late summer, the Upright Spindle Tree produces small, greenish-yellow flowers, followed by pinkish-red fruit capsules that split open to reveal bright orange seeds.
