Euonymus hamiltonianus maackii

Euonymus hamiltonianus maackii, commonly known as Skip, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to regions such as Amur, China, and parts of Russia. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and can tolerate various soil types, including light sandy, medium, and heavy clay soils. It prefers dry to moist conditions and is hardy in zones 4-8.
