WITCHHAZEL
Witchhazel is a small tree or large shrub native to moist woodland areas. They prefer moist soils and full sun to varied degrees of shade. They work best as specimen or screen near a traffic area where one can savor and enjoy the flowers. They have yellow to salmon to red flowers in late fall or early spring; a unique and special trait, as there is little else of interest at these times. Fall color ranges from bright, clear yellows to orange-red.
