I keep second guessing my spelling...craft disease.
These are mose beautiful in autumn. Their fruit is a drupe..so I guess they are related to plums??? The lovely colour looks like it's on fire in the brilliant sun light.

Beuatiful, and looks lovely with the yellow in the background.

Thanks Michaella, I hope you are successful.
Alexandramou: thanks, the maples in the background are sometimes the same colour as the euonymous..but this year we had so much rain that I think that's why they're the bright sunny yellow. Oddly we had no frost in September which usually brings on the colours, but October has been lovely with only a few frosts so far...fingers crossed for a mild winter.

I've never been able to grow this Lori....wow, yours are stunning!! Actually, it was Euonymus Europeaus I tried to grow....perhaps I should try this instead!

The link below may be of help, Karen. I do know that it is quite adaptable and it thrives in the severe winter climate here in Canada. These two shrubs came from a small piece of root..and have grown to this size in a little less than three years. They don't mind pruning and have a natural inverted triangle shape if left to their own growth habit...but I have seen these in a hedge.
