Is this an Euonymus?

[24HoursFromTulseHill]

Doing some work to our existing raised borders that had some plants in when we moved in.
Google and the rhs plant finder are both telling me that this is a euomymus japonicous (evergreen spindle)but the description mentions flowers, which I've never seen in the last year we've been here.

Is this correct or is it something else?

Looks more like a choysia to me. Not that I know much about plants!

Yes, it's a euonymus, and don't bother about flowers, they aren't much to write home about. I think it takes quite a few years before they flower anyway. I've got a very big one in my garden that flowers (it's taller than the shed), and the bees like it, but the flowers themselves are small and very dull.

It's planted right next to a very leggy choysia that needs a hard prune, so I'm confident it's not one of those.

Thanks - yeah, it doesn't look very exciting but I'll keep it for now and plant around it and maybe swap it for something else in the next few years.

If you don't know the name of ANY plant it's 'Anonymous'!

It could be euonymus Jean hugues, green spire possibly ?

A Choisya has leaves made up of three leaflets, which makes it very recognisable

When it does flower - the flowers are very small, greenish. But they’re followed by brightly coloured fruits that split to reveal brightly coloured seeds in a different colour. Our native Euonymus, the Spindle tree, has bright pink berries with bright orange seeds, I’ve seen evergreen Euonymus in supermarket carparks with creamy white berries and deep pink seeds.

It looks like Euonymus japonicus to me. I have one in my garden

No, sorry I think you misunderstood - I didn't mean that the plant was dull, I meant it was just the flowers were insignificant. They aren't what people grow euonymus for anyway. The rest of the plant is fine, and euonymus are evergreen so are really good fillers in the garden all year round.

Though personally I think the plant is dull. Much prefer the deciduous ones with their autumn colour.

Some of the variegated euonymus aren't dull, my emerald and gold is a nice bright point year around.
