It therefore remains somewhat lower and becomes less wide. Furthermore, it is the same as the normal alatus. The fruits of the Euonymus alatus resemble the cardinal's hat. Hence the name. In the fall the shrub gets beautiful pinkish red hues. Red-orange berries also appear on the bush. If the leaf falls off the shrub, you will see the special cork moldings. The flowers are yellow-green in color and fairly inconspicuous. It is best to place the shrub in a sunny spot, although it can also be in the shade.
