Left unclipped it forms a broad, rounded shrub of 2 to 4m, and under the shears it holds a crisp formal line and accepts hard reshaping. This is the full, green leaved species from which the narrow columnar selections were chosen, with the wider habit a conventional hedge or screen needs. All parts, the orange coated seeds above all, are poisonous if swallowed, so plant it away from where young children play and pets chew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Japanese spindle\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSalt Spray Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Foliage stays unmarked on front-row beach and bayside sites.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose-Packed Foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leathery leaves crowd every stem, so the screen stays solid right down to the base.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Width Screen\u003c\/strong\u003e: Its broad, bushy habit fills a standard hedge bed and closes the gaps a columnar form leaves open.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun or Part Shade\u003c\/strong\u003e: It holds its colour in full sun and keeps its density in part shade beside buildings and fences.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal Hedging\u003c\/strong\u003e: A formal or informal hedge for seaside gardens that take onshore wind and spray.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoundary Screening\u003c\/strong\u003e: A continuous row along a side or rear fence knits into full privacy above head height.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTopiary and Clipped Forms\u003c\/strong\u003e: It shapes well into balls, blocks and cones for formal entries and terraces.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaded Side Courtyards\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clipped as a screen in the bright shade of a side courtyard, where sun-hungry hedges thin out.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 to 0.9m for a dense hedge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m for individual specimens or clipped forms\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring or early autumn, out of the hottest weeks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Any free-draining soil, coastal sand included once organic matter is dug in; it dislikes heavy, waterlogged ground\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soak the hedge line deeply twice a week until fresh growth shows, then weekly through its first summer. Shear two or three times a year in the growing season rather than once hard. Powdery mildew and euonymus scale are the two problems to watch; both build up where air is still, so avoid planting hard against a solid wall.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 4m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2.5m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen, glossy dark green and finely toothed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative to:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan, Korea and China\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Insignificant, greenish white in late spring\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nursery Direct","offers":[{"title":"400mm","offer_id":60207438889246,"sku":"ND-1859-400MM","price":700.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/2536\/8862\/files\/japanese-spindle-euonymus-japonicus.jpg?v=1791513242","url":"https:\/\/nurserydirect.com.au\/products\/japanese-spindle-euonymus-japonicus","provider":"Nursery Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
