Spindle Berries

For scale, these berries are small than a 5p or 5c coin.

 

Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) is a deciduous native tree. Mature trees grow to 9m and can live for more than 100 years. The bark and twigs are deep green, becoming darker with age, and have light brown, corky markings. The spindle is at its loveliest in autumn when its leaves turn russet and its pink and orange fruits ripen. Both the leaves and fruit are toxic to humans
