Hello,
I have some Golden Euonymus in front of my house, it's been there since I got the house (~2 yrs ago), no idea how old it is. Here's a picture I snapped this morning:
As you can see, they are not growing much. I would like to help get them to a point where I can shear them in a box shape, but I need them to grow first.
I have another group of the same shrub not even 5 feet away that's thicker and ready for shearing (not pictured).
I was planning on raking all the pine needles at the base and lay down some sort of fertilizer to encourage growth, but I figured I'd ask the Pros before I do anything that may make things worst.
What would you recommend I do to help them out? If fertilizer is needed, what type would you recommend for this plant? I have 13-6-6 and 10-10-10, but I have no problem buying another type if it's better for this type of plant.
Thank you in advance,
-Walter
