Witch hazel grows into a tall shrub or small tree (usually 10-15 ft tall). It likes part shade to full shade, and normal to moist soils. It has a unique appearance due to its crooked branches and yellow, crumply, fall flowers. It is said that witches used a forked branch from this plant as a divining rod to find water underground. The seeds are launched from their capsule up to 30 ft. Sold as a dormant, bareroot seedling, 18-24 inches tall.
