Euonymus wilsonii Osmanthus armatus finely toothed leaves turn brilliantNative to China, this evergreen spindle is similar in habit to our own native species, bearing narrow, lance shaped, dark green leaves. Greenish yellow flowers emerge in spring, followed by decorative, pendulous, yellow fruits covered in spikes, reminiscent of little hedgehogs. Does well on all well drained soil; needs shelter. May drop its leaves during severe winters. RHS hardiness rating: H5
