Euonymus sachalinensis |
Native Region: Japan, Korea, North East China
Zone Range: 04-09
Preferred Climate: Cold to warm temperate
Harvest Date: Tuesday 27 August, 2024
Seed count: 15-20
Description:
This large shrub, or small tree, has larger leaves than the closely related <i><b>Euonymus alatus</i></b>, smaller corky wings on the branches, and can produce one of the most unusual colour palettes in the autumn, with a mix of green, red and even white leaves. The unusual compound fruit are produced in late summer and persist into the early autumn. Height and spread is 10 feet.
Notes:
A remarkable tree worthy of attention. Stronger autumn colour is produced on neutral to alkaline soils, while the almost white colouration is produced on acid west-coast soils.
Cultivation:
For maximum freshness, please keep the seed refrigerated in its original packaging until it is time to plant. Sow seed in containers in autumn to spring in a cold frame. If planting in the mid to late spring, stratify the peeled seed by refrigerating the pots for 4-6 weeks. Grow in any well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. In full sun, needs moister soil.
