Fusain de Chine

Climbing Euonymus, Euonymus fortunei, is a woody, evergreen vine or groundcover in the family Celastraceae native to China, Japan, Korea, and other parts of eastern Asia. It climbs walls, trees, and rocky surfaces using small adventitious roots along its stems, similar to ivy (Hedera helix). The leaves are small, oval to elliptic, and glossy dark green, often variegated in cultivated forms that are popular in horticulture. Climbing Euonymus produces inconspicuous greenish-white flowers in summer, followed by pinkish-orange capsular fruits that split to reveal bright orange-red seeds attractive to birds. The species is widely cultivated as an ornamental groundcover and climbing plant in temperate gardens worldwide and has become an invasive species in many parts of North America, Australia, and parts of Europe, where it escapes cultivation and spreads aggressively through forests and natural habitats. In eastern North America, Climbing Euonymus invades mature deciduous forests, climbing trees and smothering native vegetation. In its native Asian range, the species grows in mixed forests, forest margins, and rocky slopes and is not considered threatened. Control of invasive populations typically requires physical removal and herbicide treatment.
