If you’ve never experienced the winter bloom of the American Witchhazel (a.k.a. Hamamelis virginiana), you’re really missing out. Their creamy yellow blooms are just finishing up right now. This moderately slow growing deciduous tree thrives in zones 4-9. Eventually reaching 25 feet, its glossy green leaves turn a beautiful yellow in fall. Place this tree in sun to partial shade with moist well drained soil. We’ve got them here at Falling Water Gardens!
