Description
Euonymus europaeus 'Albus', also known as E. europaeus f. albus, is a lesser-known form of European spindle or bishop's cap. It is characterised by the white colour - instead of pinkish-red - of the capsule of its fruits. From late summer to mid-winter, the flexible branches of this bush are adorned with beautifully bicoloured fruits, white around a bright orange berry. Its foliage takes on a pale yellow, slightly greenish, luminous and soft hue as soon as the first cool temperatures arrive. Ideal as a hedge, in a flower bed, or as a standalone plant to admire this unique fruiting.
Euonymus europaeus f. albus has probably been cultivated since 1770. The typical species with pinkish-red fruits is very common. It belongs to the celastraceae family. The Albus form is a fairly fast-growing bush with an upright and slightly spreading habit. At maturity, the plant will reach approximately 2.50 m in height and 2 m in spread. This spindle is not invasive and therefore remains good company for its neighbours. You can even lightly prune it to give it a neater silhouette.
Its branches, with greyish and slightly fissured bark, bear small leaves measuring 5 to 7 cm long. They are of a medium green colour, lanceolate in shape, with barely toothed edges. In April-May, small flowers appear which do not exceed 1 cm in diameter. They are white with yellow and green highlights and consist of 4 tiny petals and a green centre. Grouped in cymes, they attract pollinators and will gradually form quite original and highly decorative fruits. The capsule, formed by 4 white to ivory lobes, will gently open to reveal light and vivid orange fruits. They are toxic, as are other parts of the bush: leaves and bark. However, birds will eat them in winter.
Euonymus 'Albus' is hardy and will thrive best in full sun exposure, but also in partial shade. It is a low-maintenance bush perfectly adapted to our climates and soils. It can be planted as a hedgerow, combined with hawthorns, wayfaring tree, smoke tree, medlars and ornamental fruiting roses, in a flower bed, or as a standalone specimen in a collector's garden.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
