Description
The Euonymus japonicus Duc d'Anjou is a variety of Japanese Spindle that has many advantages. Resistant to cold, with a moderate, well-dense growth, rather erect, this bush displays an elegant evergreen foliage, shiny, irregularly variegated with light green and yellow, decorative all year round. There are plenty of reasons to adopt it in a free or trimmed hedge, in the background of flower beds or in a container on the terrace, including in coastal areas, small city gardens or rather cold regions!
The Duc d'Anjou Japanese Spindle belongs to the Celastraceae family. Its ancestor is originally from Japan, as its name suggests. But it is also found in China and Korea. In nature, this large bush grows on slopes, in open areas on the edge of forests, up to the seaside where it can become a tree up to 8m (26 ft 2 in) tall. Its hardiness is around -12°C (10.4 °F), and its growth is quite slow.
The 'Duc d'Anjou' cultivar, with a more compact growth, is also distinguished by better cold resistance and leaves with a center more or less irregularly margined with darker green. In our gardens, it will reach an average height of 2m (6 ft 7 in) with a spread of 1.50m, perhaps more if not regularly pruned. Its habit is naturally dense and bushy, rather upright. Well-branched from the base, its upright branches bear dense foliage, composed of shiny, tough and rigid leaves. They are ovate in shape, 3 to 7cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) long, finely toothed at the edges. The flowering, quite discreet, takes place in May-June, at the tips of young shoots. Tiny flowers with 4 greenish-white petals are clustered together. They are pollinated by insects and are followed by the formation of small green fruits that turn pink and orange in autumn, hanging under the branches.
The Duc d'Anjou Japanese Spindle is valuable for creating medium-sized persistent hedges, either free or occasionally pruned. It can also be used in shrub beds, playing on contrasts with bronze fennels, purple barberries, or even bush roses or ground cover roses. It blends well with other shrubs with dark foliage such as small conifers, boxwood, and yew. In the background of flower beds, its variegated foliage enhances all flowerings and works wonders in partially shaded areas of the garden. Well adapted to coastal areas and city gardens, the Japanese Spindle can be used to create hedges along paths or to surround a rose bed, for example. It adapts well to container gardening, allowing for elegant and bright green screens on a terrace or balcony.

Planting and care
The Euonymus japonicus Duc d'Anjou is preferably planted in spring in any well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded location. It prefers deep, rich soils that remain moist and tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil. It is susceptible to severe frost and is hardy up to approximately -12/-14°C (10.4/6.8 °F). The hot and dry climates of the southern part of our country are not suitable for this evergreen spindle tree, as it may become infested with mealybugs and sooty mold. Pruning is well tolerated between April and May. Caution: early spring pruning can be harmful to young tender shoots in case of late frost. Similarly, excessive pruning can lead to the development of sooty mold, especially in very dry soil. Apply fertilizer twice a year, in early spring and autumn. Water during drought to maintain beautiful foliage. If the plant is grown in a pot, it is necessary to change the growing substrate once a year in spring. Protect your pot if severe frost is forecast (<-5°C (23 °F)).

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.
