    :D OK have looked on Ebay & it is defo not a Euphorbia ingens as you said earlier it is as you say a graft..!!! :dh: Well problem solved, then that is why you must cut it back to the crown each year to get the new variagated growth & shape..:wink::thmb:

    :dh: Ooops.! :dh: Oooh no...
    I was thinking of my friends variegated ball shape tree then when I said that....!!!!:dh: Heaven knows why as yours is an evergreen & hers isn't...!!:doh:

    :) No you just prune it lightly to keep it in shape.. Mostly tip prune Euonymus in Spring to & then just prune out stragglers or dead & it keeps in great shape.. Keep it in a sunny spot out of strong winds & just keep an eye out for scale insect as they can be prone to it..:thmb:
