Re: Euonymus alatus

I don't mean to sound opposing. I am sure it may be a climatic difference,
but I noticed that when Euonymus spp. are drought stressed in Tucson, they
get even brighter. Because of this I figured that the chemistry going on was
similar in Bromeliads and many other plants where stress of any sort causes
the plant to flush (usually a reddish, brownish, or purplish color).
Blooming (which consequently is pretty stressful for plants), cold, drought,
etc. can cause this reaction. I would say, "treat it like crap!" Maybe you
are being too nice to the plant. Usually I have noticed, in addition, that
there is relatively little new growth on plants experiencing this flushing.
Usually it is hardened off new growth although some exceptions to this idea
come to mind (ex. Sapium sebiferum, Bouganvilla spp., etc). Sorry I know I
am probably causing more confusion here but I just can't leave this
conversation there. I know I have seen Euonymous alatus red here almost all
year cause it doesn't particularly like our hot and dry climate.
