Euonymus alatus 'Compactus', common name Compact Winged Spindle/Dwarf Burning Bush, produces a fantastic red foliage every autumn and attractive winged orange fruits. It is happy in a moist, neutral to alkaline, well-drained soil; a must for every garden in my book.

It is also on more than one state invasive species list and is banned in several states.
A must for every garden throughout northeastern Asia and central China, I agree.
My red osier dogwood looks just as good, it’ll look better in the winter with its red stems and it’s native to my area so it’s better for wildlife.
there are native euonymus that are just as nice
states are banning these for good reason
That is a big bad invasive in the US. Don’t plant it.
