First time I have seen this wild.
The wood was used to make spindles. It also makes high quality artist's charcoal.The fruits are an emetic.
It is a very pretty tree.

Old picture I found that my parents took of the famous Berwyn Spindle that was seen in the movie Wayne's World. The Spindle was taken down in 2008.

A fairly scarce moth in Sussex. This gets its name from the fact that the larvae feed on Spindle Bushes.
Autumn fruits of the Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaea)

"Euonymus europaeus 'Red Cascade' AGM
The widely available 'Red Cascade' is the most spectacular form of our native spindle. The leaves colour up to lipstick-red by early September, long before most shrubs and trees, and all deciduous euonymus provide the same vibrant early autumn colour. By October, the leaves of 'Red Cascade' are already falling to reveal hundreds of orange-pipped fruits on a small, twiggy tree that reaches roughly nine to ten feet in height (3m). The sheer weight of the fruit makes the branches droop. The day-glo fruits do not last long however. They are highly popular with birds, especially robins. A note of caution though: all deciduous euonymus provide a refuge for black bean aphids over winter. - See more at: www.saga.co.uk/magazine/home-garden/gardening/plants/hedg...
The fantastic fruit of the spindle tree. Only nature could get away with wearing orange and pink.

This was my exercise in wet folding, to the extent that I’m not even sure if “folding” is still an appropriate word for the process of forming this shape. No glue was used except for the sizing contained in the thick Murano paper itself (just add water!).
Fruits of the Spindle (Euonymus europaeus), also called the Common Spindle or European Spindle. Brampton Wood Nature Reserve, Brampton, Cambridgeshire. December 1, 2020.

A little bit past its best, but the spindle was still adding a welcome bit of colour in Tuesday's sunshine.
Spindle trees are a sign of age in an established hedge, as well as being useful in all sorts of ways.
After pollination, flowers develop into bright pink fruits with bright orange seeds, which look a bit like popcorn!.
Spindle is hermaphrodite, meaning each flower contains both male and female reproductive parts. Flowers have four petals and grow in clusters in May and June, and are pollinated by insects.
Spindle is a deciduous native tree, and 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. Twigs are thin and straight.
I just love to see the fruits ... who can say that orange and pink clash after seeing these beauties? 😁
