American Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a versatile native shrub or small tree, featuring a multi-stemmed trunk and spreading branches that create an open, irregular crown. While its brilliant fall foliage adds seasonal beauty, Witch Hazel is most celebrated for its delicate, fringed yellow flowers, which bloom in late fall—often lingering on bare branches long after the leaves have fallen, adding a unique touch of color to the winter landscape.
