Euonymus japonicus 'Gold Queen' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant that is tolerant of various soil types and can withstand occasional dry periods once established. Regular pruning can help maintain its compact shape and promote dense growth.

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
