Euonymus jap. Green Spire

Euonymus jap. Green Spire

Euonymus japonicus ‘Green Spire’ is a neat, upright, columnar selection ideal for tight, formal hedging and smart evergreen structure. Its small, glossy green leaves form dense vertical pillars that clip cleanly and hold their shape well, making reliable edging or low to medium screens. Suited to sun or light shade and most well-drained soils, its a versatile choice for structured borders and pathways where space is limited. Expect an eventual height of about 1.52m with a naturally narrow spread around 0.50.6m when grown as a hedge.

Feeding time: Spring (MarchApril) Trimming time: Clip once in June to shape; a second light trim in late August if needed

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
