Euonymus jap. Green Spire

Euonymus japonicus ‘Green Spire’ is a neat, upright, columnar evergreen shrub with small, glossy green leaves that holds its shape well, making a reliable choice for clipped forms, narrow hedging and year‑round structure in Irish gardens. Grow in full sun or light shade in fertile, well‑drained soil; provide some shelter from cold, drying winds. It is well suited to coastal conditions and responds well to light, regular trimming to maintain its tidy outline.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
