Solved If not Euonymus Red Cascade what?

I grew some Euonymus Red Cascade berries, this is what came up. Is it r if not then what?
TIA.

 

Maybe a willow?
A gift from the birds?

Pics below show Euonymus europaeus Red Cascade... note leaves are opposite.
Flowers tiny and insignificant.
Seed capsules fab.
Autumn colour superb.
Last pic taken 2 days ago.

 

I feared that it was a willow, but the leaves do look like Euonymus europaeus (a little) so we were wondering.

 

Pics below show Euonymus europaeus...common name spindle.
Can you check your plant to see if leaves are opposite.


Mystery plant below..

 

Definitely not opposite. At each node there is one large leaf and some smaller ones just beginning. Not go a pic, sorry.

 

I have to agree with Silver Surfer and Palustris. I grow several Red Cascade and the leaves are quite smooth and slightly shiney. I have no smart suggestions as to what your seedling may be but perhaps grow it on a get a nice or otherwise surprise!
The Red Cascade,along with Euonymus Alatus and my Fothergilla Major are looking absolutely spectacular now thanks to the wonderful summer. They are pretty well insignificant during spring and summer but are very worthwhile growing for their superb autumn colours.

 

Thanks.
OK that completely rules out Euonymus sp.
It sounds very much like Salix cinerea ..common name grey willow with leaf stipules.

"Grey Willow leaves, like all Willows, are alternate but unusually the shoots have stipules. These are tiny leaves at the base of full size leaves which identify the Grey Willow from other common willows."

Leaves are toothed on mine, Salix cinerea are not, according to my picture book.
What amazes me is that I have a number of seed pots filled from the same bag of compost and all in the same frame and that one was the only one with tree seedlings in it. As far as I know there are no Willows anywhere close by either. Odd.

 

True.
Sorry I answered in a rush on my way out the door.
OK. try Salix aurita .... common name eared willow.
I have pics of that one.

 

That looks more like it. So I wonder where it came from. The Euonymus was growing in a front garden with no other trees around, other than a few conifers, a lovely Magnolia and Aztec Gold.

 

Perhaps it was a passenger in the compost @Palustris ?

 

Probably, but why 3 of them in one pot and none in any other of the dozen or so pots? Nor any so far in any of the potted up pots either? Very odd, gardening enigmas!

 

If you planted the seeds of Euonmus this year there is still time for them to appear.
Plan B....borrow a cutting.

Quote www.....
"Euonymus europaeus (European spindle) can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, harvest berries in fall, extract and sow the seeds immediately after a warm (8-week) and cold (8-week) stratification period. To propagate by cuttings, take semi-ripe cuttings in late summer, treat them with rooting hormone, and plant them in a moist potting mix in a bright, indirect light location. Cuttings should be well-rooted and ready for planting out the following spring.

 

Sadly, there are no berries on the plant this year for some reason. It was only an experiement really, we are a bit short of room for any more shrubs.

 

Apologies @Palustris - I'd managed to miss the fact about several pots but only that one having the seedlings!
It'll be interesting to see what it turns out to be - unfortunately, as you'll already know, some of these 'very keen' seeds can be a big problem later on.
If it's a willow [and I'm not familiar with that one mentioned] they can come in very easily from seed a long distance away, so I hope it isn't going to be a pest for you.
