Hamamelis virginiana (Hamamelidaceae)
Witch hazel is a native shrub or small tree typically 10-15 ft, but can grow quite large in a good location. The crooked branches form an irregular and open form. The leaves put on an impressive display, turning golden yellow in the fall. The interesting display comes out after the leaves fall when fragrant yellow flowers with crumply, strap-like petals come out and persist into early winter. The extract made from the leaves, stems and bark is a traditional astringent. We grow the native species H. virginiana. There are many crosses and cultivars.

Sold in gallon size pots.
