Re: Hedge Question

How about Euonymus kiautschovicus 'Manhattan'. It grows here in Z5, but
doesn't really thrive. Perhaps it would do better in Zone 6. Monrovia
says:

"Makes a fine choice for a sheared hedge, informal screen or espalier.
This handsome shrub has a neat formal appearance. Dark green leaves back
fall`s attractive pinkish fruit. Evergreen. Full sun. Fast grower to 6
to 8 feet tall, 5 feet wide"
