Description
Hamilton’s spindle is a fantastic large shrub/small tree. Similar to our native spindle tree, but with differing leaf colours in autumn. The leaves start off as a rich glossy green and maintain that colour over summer: come autumn, they turn to shades of red, pink and yellow before falling. Autumn is also the time when the truly eye-catching winged fruits burst to life. The fruits are pink in colour and split to open bright orange seeds. This is a compact and rounded tree which is perfect for the smaller garden.
Common Name: Hamilton’s spindle tree
Latin Name: Euonymus hamiltonianus
