This is a very nice looking plant.I wish i had that in front of my house.Lets see what i can get for you
Botanical Name:Euonymus europaeus
Family:Celastraceae (spindle tree) family
Also known as:European spindle tree, common spindle
Where is it originally from?:Europe
Description:The inconspicuous flowers occur in small groups, and can be green, yellow, pink or maroon in color depending on species.[4] The leaves are opposite (rarely alternate) and simple ovoid, typically 2–15 cm long, and usually with a finely serrated margin. The fruit is a pink or white four- or five-valved pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange or red seeds.The seeds are eaten by frugivorous birds, which digest the fleshy seed coat and disperse the seeds in their droppings. Many species are used for medicinal use, and parts of the plants can be poisonous to humans.
Cultivation and uses:The wood of some species was traditionally used for the making of spindles for spinning wool;[6] this use is the origin of the British English name of the shrubs.Euonymus are popular garden shrubs, grown for their foliage, the deciduous species often exhibiting very bright red autumnal colours, and also for the decorative berries.
What damage does it do?:Forms dense thickets in the open and in the shade, blocking light and space for native understorey plants and seedlings.
That's all from me all the information collected from wiki and various sources.
