Description
The Japanese spindle tree, Euonymus japonicus in Latin, is an evergreen bush of beautiful stature, often planted in coastal hedges for its good tolerance of sea spray. Its small leaves are a vibrant, glossy green, and its habit is naturally bushy and dense. It allows for the creation of large, evergreen hedges, trimmed or untrimmed, that are very impressive. Very tolerant of air pollution, attractive all year round, and lending itself admirably to topiary, it also has a place in urban gardens. This evergreen spindle tree is best cultivated in regions spared from very harsh winters and dry summers.
The Japanese spindle tree belongs to the Celastraceae family. Originally from Japan, as its name suggests, but also found in China and Korea. In the wild, this large bush grows on slopes, in open areas on the edge of forests, and even by the sea where it can reach a height of 8 meters (26 feet 2 inches) and become a tree. Its hardiness is around -12°C (10.4 °F), and its growth is quite slow. In gardens, it will reach an average height of 3.5 meters (11 feet 6 inches) with a spread of 2.5 meters, even more if not regularly trimmed. Naturally bushy, branched from the base, its upright branches bear dense foliage composed of shiny, vibrant green leaves. They are ovate in shape, measuring 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) in length, with finely dentate edges. The discreet flowering takes place in May-June, at the end of the young shoots. Tiny white-greenish flowers with 4 petals are grouped in clusters. Flowers are pollinated by insects and then followed by the formation of small green fruits that turn pink and orange in autumn, hanging from the branches.
Well adapted to coastal areas and urban gardens, the Japanese spindle tree is often used to create hedges at the garden boundary to protect it from wind and prying eyes. It is a very good alternative to planting boxwood. It adapts well to container culture, which can be placed on the terrace or balcony, and is well-suited for pruning. Its height is less important in pots, as the plant can be shaped according to the gardener's whims, including topiary. In the ground, it can also be used in a grove, alone or combined with other evergreen bushes, such as purple laurel, Photinia Pink Marble, Elaeagnus ebbingei, evergreen Ceanothus, or Pittosporum. It will also be very useful for creating a dense screen at the edge of a terrace, facing prevailing winds.

Planting and care
The Euonymus japonicus is preferably planted in spring in any well-drained soil in a gently sunny or lightly shaded position. It prefers deep soils, rich in humus, remaining moist, and tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil. It fears strong frosts and is hardy down to about -12°C (10.4 °F). Hot and dry climates are not very suitable for this evergreen spindle, as it may be invaded by mealybugs and sooty mold. Pruning is well tolerated between April and May. Warning: pruning too early in spring can be harmful to young tender shoots, in case of late frosts. Similarly, too frequent pruning can lead to the development of sooty mold, especially in very dry soil. Apply fertilizer twice a year, in early spring and autumn. In case of drought, water to maintain a beautiful foliage. If the plant is grown in a pot, it is necessary to change the growing substrate once a year in spring. Protect your pot if strong frosts are forecasted (<-5°C (23 °F)).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
