ENWC Winter tree study

Today we revisited our tree, Euonymus alatus, in its Winter season. 




We clipped off a twig to look at more closely and examined the position of the buds and side shoots along its length. We brought it inside to see if we can force the buds to open early.

 

The buds are small and brown with a slightly larger terminal bud and smaller axillary buds arranged in opposite pairs.
