Wahoo!

It is one of the more desirable native Euonymus sp. which is at home in calcareous soils. The other (a bit more diminutive and shrubby) is Euonymus americanus, which one finds more often as understory in acid soils.

Euonymus atropurpureus seeds itself in around the Valley. There are some nice strains that have rich reddish to orange fall color, and the fruiting characters make quite the show after leaves drop.
