Description
Euonymus europaeus, the Spindle tree, has white or pale-yellow wood which was formerly used for making spindles, knitting needles and skewers.
The branches are 4-angled when young, getting more corky as they get older.
They grow on the edges of woodland and prefer a lime rich soil. This one is growing above Alum Chine, Bournemouth.
I find different barks fascinating!

cool !!!
With four dogs its no wonder you find barks fascinating Andrea!! This is a super image by the way.
A good shot of this unual looking wood.
Excellent Shot very unusual looking
However are you always such an amazing walking human encyclopedia about so many things Andrea? Great shot, and I assume post work for the Bokeh effect as well! I seem to recall you once stated that you were once a teacher beyond your art/photo classes of today... if so what did you teach? You never fail to amaze in all your presentations!
The ranger at Juanita Bay was telling me he'd found one in the woods there, and had put a protective line around it. The flowers were very lovely! I never saw it as big as this. What an interesting shape it takes!
a lovely shot of this complex twig
It is very different. I saw a very gnarled tree stump yesterday but had no camera :o(
very cool capture interesting to say the least
Superb capture. God Bless.
What an unusual shape. A superb image and a botanical lesson all in one place.
Very odd and unique shape and textures. Wonderful capture,thanks for passing it along.
wonderful
Amazing plant and twig :-) Now where have I see this sight before?........hmm.
What a lovely thing! So ineresting, and the angles are just beautiful. I've never seen one, and this is a treat!
Fantastic shot of the fascinating twig, Andrea, a species I never even knew existed. I thought all spindles were artificially created from a dowel on a lathe, and now I discover to the contrary.
A superb example, and capture!
amazing image
This has got a very different looking bark, I must go and take a second look at my tree at the bottom of my garden. Great shot.
superb! love how these brances look. we have a hedge maple .. which had branches somewhat like this when we first bought it and planted it in our yard. Now almost 30 years later, it doesn't seem to have them anymore, but I still love this tree.
So that's how they got that name thanks for the info.
Wow this sure is different a most awesome image girl.
Awesome image never saw anything like this before Hugs Susan~
One of my oaks seems to have a similar pattern on it!
Extremely interesting texture and shape. An informative looking tree!
