This is the reason why this latter is more appreciated, and in my opinion it also has a more beautiful structure of branches. But the Europaeus is also very nice. It is one of those plants that link our garden and the forest. I think it is rather invasive, but at us it lives in so hard circumstances that it behaves well. <BR/>I like it how in America they pay attention to the invasivity of the plants. I have noticed for example that some plants are not sold in nurseries for this reason, and this is quite correct so. But one does not have to exaggerate like the Chinese who, during the Cultural Revolution, killed all sparrows in Beijing. Some Euonymus alatus around the house will certainly not spoil the nature.<BR/><BR/>Here we have a wonderful Indian summer. I hope your autumn is beautiful as well.<BR/><BR/>KataTemplom Katahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237092775284198425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730833146696023180.post-85716585994045328912008-10-12T14:56:00.000+02:002008-10-12T14:56:00.000+02:00Szép jónapot Annuska!

I liked very much the composition of pumpkins and Sedums on your page. <BR/>Sammy - so lovely - was a newfoundlander dog? We have three newfoundlanders, and one of them, Burkus is very ill. We try to get used to the idea that we will have to lose him. It is very hard. <BR/>It was a great joy to have visited you again.

The woods around my house are full of it (also a lot of Japanese barberry). I does have amazing autumn color.<BR/><BR/>That said, I have several 12-foot-tall Euonymous alatus along one side of the front of my house. I believe they were planted about 40 years ago, and I don't have the heart to tear them out. Perhaps one day I will, but they will need to be replaced with other large shrubs, which will be costly.<BR/><BR/>The euonymus is so prevalent in the surrounding area, I believe the sources of seeds must be many, not just my planting, so I use that argument to try to justify keeping mine.James Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12718058779971621920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1730833146696023180.post-28440651125505585802008-10-10T21:35:00.000+02:002008-10-10T21:35:00.000+02:00Yonaput!
