Do you think this is Spindle?

100% yes!

Many thanks again..........are those seed pods do you think? Would love one in my garden......:o)

They are seed pods. They will split soon and reveal an orange red fleshy aril with a seed attached.

Dead easy from fresh seed. Sow in ordinary compost and leave exposed to the winter weather and they germinate in Spring.

I love these - I pass several on one of H's walks!!

oooh this is beautiful
those colours are gorgeous

wonder if I have any locally would like to grow some too if its as easy as mentioned

I thought I would go and see if there were seeds on ours to offer, but they have all fallen now. I do have a few Euonymus alatus which is not quite as spectacular as E. europaeus, but only a few.
If you are going to get seeds of Euonymus, then I suggest that you do not wait for the pods to open, but collect the seeds (berries inside the pods) before and sow as I said straight away.

Thanks everyone.....and especially Owdboggy with such info on this beautiful shrub..........I'm hoping to visit again at the weekend....I'm sure they won't miss one pod....:o)

oooh if you acidently grab 2pods a happy home awaits here
will gladly pay postgae
