I planted a euonymous in my garden in late summer last year - the gold and green type - sorry don't know the species. Reasonably large specimen - came in a 10L pot.

This year, the foliage seems to have died back with the branches exposed and bare. There are some signs of some new leaf growth closer to the base of the plant so all may not be lost.

Any thoughts on what the problem might be. Should I give up or persevere.

All advixe gratefully received.

Thanks

Evergreens are best planted in the spring to give the roots time to
establish before winter (not a lot of help to you now!) Perversly
evergreens can drought in winter unless they have good root systems they
just can not cope with strong drying winds

You could try cutting it back, so the plant can put it's energy into the new growth you are seeing.
It's worth a try before you give up on it anyway.
