Firebush (Euonymus alatus)

heal wounds quickly if done right.

I would be interested in how you get eonymous to heal. I have a big E Europea, which basically does not heal wounds. And I just got raw stock to start an E alatus, would be helpfull to understand under which conditions they close over cuts.

Do these air layer well? I am thinking of trying to air layer a large bush in the back of my yard since I dont want it where it is.

They are very easy to propagate from cuttings so I think airlayering should be no problem.

I managed to airlayer 3 out of 4 euonymus europaeus so far. They all took 2 years, but they were older ones. One was over 5 and one was over 10 years old, based on the number of rings. I imagine that younger and thinner material would layer faster.

After a couple glorious weeks, this little tree is now naked. I am very happy with the ramification so far. This tree seems to be fairly predictable and reliable in its reaction to hard prunning, which makes developing it a pleasure.




There has been some discussion in this thread whether or not they heal well. I believe they do. Here are a couple pics of the calluses rolling over wounds, after two growing seasons:

I agree they seem to heal well for me. But I have a couple of Euonymus that are more the vine type that does not heal well. Definitely depends on the type of euonymus.

They do heal, but its usually very slow
