I came across Euonymus fortunei near the Fletcher Moss Park, growing under one of the houses. Euonymus is one of the most versatile evergreen shrub. There are many varieties both green and with various patterns. 'Emerald 'n' Gold' is one of the most common forms with bright-golden, colourful leaves. What makes it an ideal ornamental plant for winter are the leaves that turn pinkish-red in cold weather. It can be grown as an informal hedge, climber on the walls or a shrub, however they tend to be highly invasive. It occasionally produces few small, inconspicuous greenish flowers.
The species has circular-oblong leaves with a fine teeth on the edges. Eunonymum fortunei is tolerant to sun and shade, and thrive in well-drained soils. It grows to 1m up and is able to spread to 1,5m wide.
