Euonymus europaeus

Euonymus, often called spindle or spindle tree, is a genus of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and small trees. The flowers are inconspicuous and of green or yellow shades. The leaves usually have a finely serrated margin. The deciduous species have eye catching autumn leaves. The evergreen species are often grown as climbers, ground cover or hedging that can be clipped into shape. 'Europaeus' is a large deciduous shrub, a native of European hedgerows. This plant really comes into its own in autumn and winter, when its dark green leaves turn blazing scarlet.
