Re: Euonymus alatus

Euonymous need cold to turn color. Where is this plant? Even in Tucson,
(even central Tucson at the university where temps only dip into the 30s F
shortly) these plants change color. Are you sure it is the plant you think
it to be? I don't think sun exposure is an issue either because the plants I
know are in total shade, yet I have seen them in near full sun with the same
outcome.
