Japanese Spindle, Evergreen Spindle
Very lovely bush. Unfortunately, it was heavily infested with scale insects, which were treated with a specific chemical product after being treated with black soap. As a preventive measure, it is recommended to prune regularly, but this species is not easily prunable! The specimen was planted alone, not as part of a hedge. Ladybugs... they are rare in the south, too hot and dry for them. As for the razor blade on each leaf... a wordless story, impossible. Disappointed, so I hope to save it, but if not, I will have to find another variety of bush.

Description
Euonymus japonicus 'Happiness'® is a variety of dwarf Japanese Spindle tree, naturally forming a small compact ball with golden yellow young shoots. Evergreen, this adorable bush is a full-fledged decorative element: it brightens up the rock garden, forms an original and refined border, or decorates the terrace even in the middle of winter. It will thrive in light shade, in ordinary soil, even limestone, but remaining moist.
The Japanese Spindle tree belongs to the family of Celastraceae. It originates, as its name suggests, from Japan. 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, and even on the seaside where it can become a tree up to 8m (26ft 2in) tall. Its hardiness is around -12°C (10.4 °F), and its growth is quite slow.
The cultivar 'Happiness'®, with slow growth, will reach about 50cm (19.7in) in all directions at maturity. Its size can be easily limited if the bush is pruned every spring. Its habit is naturally very dense and rounded. Well-branched from the base, its branches bear dense foliage, composed of shiny, leathery and rigid leaves. They are lanceolate to ovate in shape, irregular, dentate on the edges, and slightly undulate. The young shoots, produced throughout the year, are a particularly bright and vivid golden yellow. They then turn green.
Euonymus japonicus 'Happiness'® is valuable for creating miniature hedges along paths or terraces, or for container gardening where it can easily replace boxwood. Its golden foliage enhances purple blooms and works wonders in partially shaded areas of the garden. Well adapted to seaside and urban gardens, the Japanese Spindle tree 'Happiness' can be planted together with robust ground covers such as Teucrium chamaedrys, adorned with a few Erigeron karvinskianus plants and Variegated Acanthus 'Whitewater', with beautifully variegated foliage and soft pink flower spikes.
Tips: Water during dry periods to maintain beautiful foliage.

Planting and care
Euonymus japonicus 'Happiness' is preferably planted in spring in any well-drained soil in a gently sunny or lightly shaded position. It prefers deep, humus-rich soils that remain moist and tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil. It is sensitive to severe frost and is hardy up to approximately -12/-14°C. The hot and dry climates in 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: pruning too early in spring can be detrimental 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. In case of drought, water 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 forecasted (<-5°C).

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.
