I love my witch hazel, but it's the last to bloom in my back yard here
in s. Wisconsin -- in late October. Is that because of the variety - it
is not a named cultivar - or is it the climate?
It's slow growing, about 9-10 feet tall now, has withstood fairly
severe winters for about 6 years, and gets late afternoon shade from the
large oaks in the lot behind it. It is quite striking in bloom with the
west light behind it and I wish it were closer to the house for better
viewing.
