The common landscaping plants in parks are especially tolerant of pruning and can be shaped into all kinds of forms.

Most Euonymus are evergreen trees that do not drop their leaves in winter, and are also called evergreen euonymus. Some people also call them large-leaf boxwood, because like boxwood they are very suitable for hedges and are the most common in parks.

Among all small shrubs, euonymus may be the most common. It is very easy to grow, its leaves are beautiful, and it is almost never any trouble. So in park flower beds, it is almost the most common.

(Golden-edged climbing euonymus)

Euonymus is mainly native to our country. In the past, most common euonymus was pure green, but now the most popular is green with golden yellow, called "golden-edged climbing euonymus."

(Climbing euonymus)

The euonymus with green mixed with white is called "climbing euonymus." The patterns can vary greatly, and recently some have longer leaves, with the patterns also taking a long shape. These leaves are most beautiful when they first emerge, while older leaves are paler in color.

Euonymus also blooms, but the flowers are very small, white or pink and round, clustered in the center. Inside are orange seeds, which are very attractive to birds. But many parts of the plant are toxic to humans, so you should wash your hands after pruning.

In fact, euonymus is also one of the most diverse plants. It can be grown into a shrub, can climb walls, can be used as a ground cover, and can also fill any gap in a flower bed.

Euonymus can be pruned into any shape. Although ordinary euonymus is usually quite short, no more than three feet, if it is not pruned the branches can grow very long and quickly cover an area.

(A cute shape)

The climbing variety is called "climbing euonymus," and most have all-green leaves. This type can grow very long, and if planted by a wall with a support, it can cover the entire wall.

(A single-trunk euonymus)

Because of euonymus's malleability, many people use it for hedges, or prune it into different animal shapes, and it is sometimes made into a small single-trunk tree.

(The fiery red flame euonymus)

There are many kinds of euonymus. One whose leaves turn blood red in autumn is called "flame euonymus." It is actually also a type of euonymus, and this type is a deciduous tree with no leaves in winter.

Euonymus is very vigorous and can tolerate urban environments, and is also very drought tolerant. But it needs sunlight and cannot take full shade. In addition, it cannot tolerate poorly drained soil, so when planting, the hole should be dug large, and plenty of fertile soil should be added, preferably with good soil such as compost and animal manure compost.

One essential task when growing euonymus is pruning, because without pruning it may grow too long and too loose. To make euonymus grow dense, it must be pruned every year. At most one third of the length can be cut off. If it is used as a hedge, it must also be pruned regularly.

Although euonymus is very vigorous, some varieties are more prone to powdery mildew. It is best not to water in the evening, and also avoid watering the leaves.

Usually, clean up fallen leaves on the ground, and avoid planting the plants too close together or too densely. Sometimes small white spots appear on euonymus leaves, which may be caused by scale insects. If you see them, you must cut off and destroy the affected leaves.

Euonymus has extremely high malleability, and its colors also vary greatly, so it is often pruned into all kinds of forms. Friends have surely seen it!
