It is native to forests, woodlands and scrub areas in eastern Russia, Japan, China and Korea. It was introduced into the U. S. around 1860 as an ornamental, and over time has become an extremely popular shrub for homes, commercial properties and along highways. The deciduous leaves grow to 3 inches long and are borne in opposing pairs along the green, winged stems. The late spring yellowish green flowers are small and borne in rather inconspicuous clusters. They give rise to purplish red capsules that split open to reveal little orange-red seeds that are themselves ornamental, especially if still present after the leaves have fallen. Seeds are attractive to certain birds that eat and distribute them. Greenish-brown stems have distinctive corky ridges (“wings” as used in the common name). Corky-winged stems are more noticeable in winter after leaf drop. Euonymus alatus is used in the landscape for its brilliant fall color and winter architectural form and texture. This is considered one of the most dependable shrubs for fall color, even in warm climates. The interesting corky wings along the spreading branches are most visible in winter, and the bush is very showy when the wings catch and hold the snow. Grow Euonymus alatus in a shady woodland garden, use in a mixed shrub border, or grow as a specimen where its fall and winter characteristics can be admired. Euonymus alatus tolerates shearing well, and is often used as a closely clipped formal hedge.
