| Euonymus atropurpureus
Eastern wahooCulture: Rather adaptable and easy to transplant, this common native of the Eastern and Central U.S. is not commonly used in the landscape trade. When open-grown as an ornamental, this species tends to have a more uniform habit than native specimens. It will tolerate full sun to moderate shade. Eastern Wahoo is quite susceptible to the euonymus scale and powdery mildew. The susceptibility to scale greatly limits its landscape usefulness. Usage: A native understory plant useful for naturalizing. The fruit is attractive but the habit can be unkempt. It is not commonly used in gardens. |
