Green Spire Japanese Euonymus

‘Green Spire’ is a narrow, columnar evergreen shrub with small glossy green leaves. Its upright outline supplies year-round structure where a broad hedge would take too much room. ## Garden Use Plant it in a row for a slim hedge or screen, or use individual shrubs as vertical accents near an entry or path. Monrovia lists a mature size of 6–8 feet tall by 1–2 feet wide in USDA zones 6–9; allow room for clipping and for variation between sites. The [Monrovia profile](https://www.monrovia.com/green-spire-euonymus.html) and [RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/309796/euonymus-japonicus-green-spire/details) describe its dense evergreen, columnar habit. ## Growing Conditions Grow it in full sun or light shade in well-drained soil. In sunny, dry weather, check moisture regularly; Monrovia recommends watering when the top three inches of soil are dry. The naturally narrow form works well in formal borders, containers, and compact garden spaces. ## Maintenance Trim lightly as needed to preserve its shape. Monitor the leaves and stems for euonymus scale, which can cause spotting and thinning in Japanese euonymus; remove affected growth and follow regional extension guidance.
