of foliage.

rootlets. Usage in the north is cultivar dependent, usage in the south
is limited by scale and other diseases.

Euonymus scale is a serious problem in some areas that limits use of this plant;
regular spraying may be required. Not recommended for use in our area since
it spreads easily from cultivation into surrounding wooded areas.
