The genus Euonymus is comprised of 175 species of shrubs, trees, and climbers grown for their attractive foliage, interesting fruit, and good autumn color. Most are native to Asia. Euonymuses have a variety of uses in the garden, including as part of a shrub border or hedges, and as specimens or groundcovers. They tolerate heavy pruning, which makes them ideal for topiaries. Euonymus tolerates poor soils, heat, and salt spray. Creeper varieties can be trained to climb but are labled invasive in some regions.
