winged spindle tree

Your Winged Spindle Tree (Euonymus alatus 'Odom' Little Moses) should be watered when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry, usually once or twice a week in summer, and once a week in winter. During intense heat or drought, you may need to water more often. Make sure to provide your tree with 1-2 inches of water at a time. Additionally, compost or mulch can be added to the soil around the tree to help the soil retain moisture.

Winged spindle tree (Euonymus alatus 'Odom' LITTLE MOSES) grows best when planted in full sun to part shade. It requires 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily in order for it to thrive. During the spring and summer months, especially in areas with sunny summers, the tree should be exposed to direct sunlight for most of the day, with just a few hours of shade in the late afternoon and evening. In areas with milder winters, Euonymus alatus 'Odom' LITTLE MOSES prefers to receive some shade during the day, especially in the early afternoon when temperatures are at its peak.

The best time to prune a Winged Spindle Tree (Euonymus alatus 'Odom' Little Moses) is late winter or early spring. This plant species is usually slow growing and low maintenance, so minimal pruning is necessary. In fact, it's best to lightly prune the plant every year by removing a few dead branches or shoots here and there. However, if you want to shape the tree, you can prune it back more heavily. Be careful not to cut into the trunk or divide its limbs too severely - pruning in this way can damage or kill the tree.
