Euonymus

FWG

In the last posting, I mentioned that we're finding more and more of the exotic Euonymus trees in our garden. One quite large one is in the Ravine, near the Interpretive Centre. These trees, native to E. Asia and the Himalayas, have spectacularly beautiful seed pods as these photos show. There are several species in the Arboretum, with differently coloured pods. Whether they will become invasive, is unclear at the moment.

Given that these Euonymus shrubs seem to be spreading withing the FWG/Farm, would it not be wise to get rid of them before they do become invasive. It is alwasy easier to nip these things in the bud so to speak rather than having to deal with massive problems like Buckthorn and DSV later.
