Euonymus atropurpureus
This deciduous shrub, which grows eight to twenty feet high, is native to the eastern United States, but is cultivated in gardens everywhere. The two- to five-inch long, opposite leaves are simple, ovalish finely-toothed, and hairy beneath. The leaves, the four-lobed scarlet fruit, and the bark have been found to be poisonous.
