watering
Winged spindle tree (Euonymus alatus 'Rudy Haag') requires regular watering throughout the growing season. Water the tree deeply, providing enough moisture to soak the root system. Do this once or twice a week, depending on how quickly the soil dries out. During periods of excessive heat, the tree may need more frequent watering. Spray the tree with water in the morning to keep foliage hydrated. During the winter months, reduce waterings to about once or twice a month, depending on the rate of rainfall.
sunlight
Winged spindle tree (Euonymus alatus 'Rudy Haag') prefers full sun to partial shade, but can tolerate some shade. A sunny spot with 4-6 hours of sunlight per day is ideal for this plant species. The time of day that is best for this plant is in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is not direct and intense. This tree is not tolerant of direct afternoon sun, so it is best to give it some protection if growing in the hottest locations.
pruning
Winged Spindle Tree (Euonymus alatus 'Rudy Haag') should be pruned during the late winter or early spring months before new growth starts. Pruning can be fairly heavy for this species, generally removing 1-third to 1-half of the current branches and tops to encourage bushier growth and a better shape. Any overcrowded or broken branches should also be removed.
