There is an Euonymus bush here in southwest Oregon that goes red and green in early fall, quite beautiful. I do not know the specifics, but it IS euonymus. |

I dug up three very mature euonimus shrubs, each about 4 ft. high from a friends yard.It was very difficult to get much of a root ball due to the small opening surrounded by concrete. I had to cut some roots over an inch in diam.,many fine ones were saved. I transplanted the shrubs in my garden over two weeks ago during cool, damp weather, they wilted a little,then perked up. They're growing strong now! I believe they are E.japonicus, non-variegated, pretty commonly seen. |
