Does anyone know of a variety of variegated Euonymus that grows in an
upright columnar habit? I saw one earlier this year with yellow
centred leaves but Im not certain if its a new variety or if it had
just been trained like that ( to grow upright not the yellow centred
leaves!).
Either way I wish Id bought it now as it would look great in the
courtyard garden through the winter.

'Mark',

It could well be Euonymus Japonica 'aureo-variegata'

If not, Euonymus Aureus 'aureopictus' is very similar, but I failed to
find a photo. of that one.

I'm told that Euonymous Emerald and Gold will grow happily up a wall if it can't go anywhere else. It's as you describe, but goes the most beautiful pink shades from October.

I bought a couple of hundred rooted cuttings of Emerald and Gold a few weeks ago and some are already attempting to grow up against a wall, rather than acting as grown cover like I had expected. It's a really nice plant.
