    Hi Michael,

    have you actually got Euonymus europaeus with this kind of round fruits in Britain? I have never seen that so far. I suppose that this is rather some other (cultivated) species of Euonymus.

    I was thinking that too but "Googled" and got multiple pictures showing the same fruit and leaf shapes for "Euonymus europaeus" (as well as different fruit shapes), figured it was probably part of the species' variability.

    Could also be multiple photos up showing wrong plants as "E. europaeus", of course. Seems most searches bring up at least a few bum steers.
