Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel)

Common witch hazel is a late fall-blooming, deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 15' tall. At home in the woods, forest margins, and stream banks it grows best in average, well-drained, organically rich soils in full sun to part shade. Best flowering is in full sun. Tolerates heavy clay soils. Little pruning is required but will sucker and form colonies if left alone. Deer resistant.
