Euonymus europaeus

i have a Euonymus europaeus that I planted last year. This year it has flowered but the fruits did not develop. There were stalks, but no fruit. Can anyone please tell me why? Do I need another shrub to cross pollinate? would it be birds, insects. .? Thank you

    I think they're pollinated by flying things. You don't need a male and female.

    I've had years with no berries but I don't know if it's weather or lack of flies at flowering time which may come down to the same thing

    It just needs to grow...needs to be a bit older.  It will fruit in the next year or two, depending on how old it was when you planted it.

    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
