Deer find the plant hard to pass by and are taking a heavy toll on this preferred browse in areas where their numbers are great. The key feature of this green-stemmed shrub is the fall fruit display. The fruit show persists for about a month. In fruit, this plant always elicits a favorable response. While supposedly susceptible to all of the maladies of Euonymus, we have not experienced much trouble with scale or whiteflies in the garden.
Propagation is easy.
Seed should be treated with a three-month warm stratification followed by three or four months of cold moist. Cuttings can be rooted any time of the year and the plant, being a thicket former, is easy to divide and multiply for the landscape.
