NYBG EcoFlora Update, February 2020
The February EcoQuest Challenge is CAN YOU FIND EUONYMUS?
Euonymus are small trees, shrubs and woody vines in the Staff-Tree family (Celastraceae). Indigenous and introduced species in our range typically have sharply angled (and sometimes winged) stems; opposite leaves that are evergreen or deciduous; and brightly colored fruit. Burning Bush, Euonymus alatus, is an aggressive invader with conspicuously winged stems.
