When our house was built the developer planted these shrubs (called them Euonymus) in our front yard. Unfortunately, that was the only identification given to them. They are shrub form and about 4 foot tall. The leaves are glossy around 3 inches long.

From looking at pictures on the Internet, I'm not sure if they are Euonymus.

Right now I'm trying to find out about pruning them. The branches has grown quite long and they look healthy. But they are a little large. It is now May and we live in Northern California.

In the picture, ignore the pink flowers (that's from the Oleander in the background)
