  • Description

  • Notes

Euonymus fortunei is an evergreen vine or shrub. If plant is used as a shrub, its branches will trail and sometimes root; if allowed to climb, it will form a spreading mass to 20 ft. or more. Rich deep green leaves are 1-2.5 in. long, with scallop-toothed edges. The flowers are inconspicuous.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
