5 Witch Hazel Trees 12 Inch Tall Hamamelis virginiana Native Bare Root

Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a native North American small tree or large shrub valued for its unique late-season bloom and dependable landscape performance. It typically grows into a multi-stemmed, open-branched plant with a rounded habit and clean green foliage that turns shades of yellow in autumn. Its most distinctive feature is the spidery, fragrant yellow flowers that appear in late fall after the leaves drop, adding interest when most other plants are dormant.

This witch hazel works well as a specimen, woodland border, or naturalized planting, and its branches are often used in floral arrangements. It adapts to a range of garden settings and, once established, is generally low maintenance. These are bare root plants roughly 12 inches tall, ready to be planted during the appropriate dormant season for best establishment.
