Color in the Garden
Euonymus, the Brocade Tree
October 2nd, 2009
Euonymus alata is known in Japan as nishikigi ??, meaning “brocade tree,” for its wild, interwoven variety of fall colors. In the West it is also known, appropriately enough, as “burning bush.”

The transformation Euonymus makes is remarkable. Within weeks, all the foliage of this tree will be a mass of brilliant magenta.
