Euonymus fortunei - Emerald surprise
Located in Chorlton, Manchester along Longford road. E. fortunei is a medium, evergreen, bushy shrub that is yellow as well as green all year round, it's because of these characteristics that make it an excellent hedge plant for buffering the hard edges of boundaries. It is a common sight in suburban areas.
The leaves grow opposite each other on the stems, they are ovulate, rather fleshy and have serrated edges. Pink highlights appear in the winter.
The leaf buds come out bright green with pointed tips.
Located growing right next to its yellow relative is E. fortunei 'silver queen' as you can see more distinctively here they also have pink highlights that appear in the winter.
