Default Can anyone identify this?

If you leave it in situ, you should be able to propagate it in early
June from softwood cuttings. Search on "propagating euonymus" and you
should find loads of web pages telling you how to do it.

One word of caution - euonymus sap is a serious irritant. Wear gloves
when cutting (when propagating, latex disposable gloves are a boon)
and make sure that you don't get any sap anywhere near your eyes.

First, Don't go chopping around it, follow the stem back to find out
where it's growing from, often a branch growing along the ground will
shoot up, but have no roots anywhere near the growth.
I've never had problems with sap, but many types of sap cause problems
for some people, always be carefull if you don't know your reaction
you may be sensitive.
Do you realy want to grow Euonymous? Its a good hedging plant but the
green form has nothing else realy going for it.
