Euonymus europaeus is a native tree with striking fruit decoration. It offers wildlife an ideal habitat and enriches natural gardens. Although the shrub is adaptable, you should consider its demands on the site.
The more light the euonymus gets, the more beautiful the autumn color will be
habitat
The euonymus occurs at the edges of forests and in sparse forests. Plant the shrubs in bright locations, as the leaves appear less conspicuous when there is a lack of light and the autumn colors are weaker. Warm conditions provide the wood with ideal growing conditions. It can be planted in wind-exposed locations.
floor
The wood prefers loamy subsoil as well as calcareous and nutrient-rich substrates with fresh to moist conditions. Since the shrub is adaptable, it also thrives on sandy and dry soil. Its growth potential is limited here.
Good to know:
- tolerates higher salinity
- Soil should be deep and loose
- compacted soils restrict growth
