Hamamelis virginiana, Witchhazel
Pictures to Come!
Witch-hazel is another one of those species that prefers just a few more inches of rain a year than most Minnesota's counties have to offer. It is native to woodlands along the St. Croix and the Driftless Region of southeastern Minnesota. That said, it is a common yard shrub of various cultivars sold at many nurseries. I've decided to offer the straight native species beginning late summer and early fall of 2023.
