Euonymus oxyphyllus, the Korean spindle tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Celastraceae, native to central and eastern China (including Taiwan), Manchuria, Korea, Japan and the Kurils.[2][1] It is a shrub or small tree typically reaching 2.5 m (8 ft).[3] The Royal Horticultural Society considers it to be a good tree for smaller gardens, especially for its colorful Autumn foliage and fruits.[4]
