A small understory shrub, often multi-trunked, spreading branches form an irregular, open crown. Typically grows to 10-15′ but can reach 35′ in height. New leaves emerge reddish-bronze in the spring, and turn a brilliant gold in the fall. Witch-hazel is best known for its fringed yellow flowers which appear in late fall and stay on the branches long after the leaves have dropped. The flowers are self-fertile and pollination is carried out by small flies and bees, along with several species of winter moths – which are active on cold nights. Blooms in October, November, December. Performs best on moister sites; avoid extremely dry situations. Full sun forms fuller, more symmetrical plants but may require more watering. Can grow in partial or full shade. Native to Massachusetts.
Size: 18-24″ bare root seedling
Host plant for 65+ species of butterflies and moths.
