Description
| American Witch-hazel | |||
| Description | American witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), also known as striped or spotted alder, is a small tree or tall shrub. As an ornamental plant, witch-hazel is a beautiful, unique plant. Witch-hazel has crooked, spreading branches and aromatic flowers in fall to winter. Its lettuce green leaves maintain color late into fall and then turn into gold. The aromatic extract of the leaves, twigs, and bark is used as a mild astringent. Young witch-hazel is susceptible to deer pressure. *Important to shade while young | ||
