The Witch Hazel Tree (Hamamelis) is a truly unique and captivating addition to any garden, celebrated for its striking, spider-like flowers that bloom in late winter and early spring. These vibrant orange-yellow blossoms, which emit a sweet fragrance, are carried on bare branches, adding an extraordinary splash of colour during the colder months when most gardens are dormant. The blooms are remarkably resilient, remaining unblemished even after the harshest frosts, making the Witch Hazel an ideal choice for winter interest.

Best grown in an open yet sheltered location, the Witch Hazel thrives in neutral to acidic soils, making it a versatile tree for a variety of garden types. Its graceful structure and bright, burnt coppery flowers bring both beauty and a sense of warmth to your outdoor space when you need it most. Beyond its stunning appearance, Witch Hazel also has practical uses—the bark, twigs, and leaves are distilled to produce an extract used in medicine, known for its soothing properties.

Whether you have a large estate or a small garden, the Witch Hazel’s elegant form and vibrant blooms will make it a standout feature, providing not just seasonal beauty, but also a touch of natural wellness. Add the Witch Hazel to your garden and enjoy its colourful winter display and multi-season appeal.

All our stock is “lifted” to order, which means that they are “lifted” and packed the same day and sent off so delivery is made the following day hence you receive them as fresh as possible. They are well packed and they are able to stay in the bags they arrive in for up to 7/10 days out of any frosts but it is advisable to plant bareroot trees as soon as possible. We are able to give you a suitable delivery date after the order has been placed when we email your order of acknowledgement to you. Unlike other nurseries who usually say within 3-5 days we can give you a definite day.

As soon as we receive your order we can usually send these out within the week. We use a courier and a signature will be required UNLESS you inform us (in the comments box) of where you would like your goods left safely should you not be at home. It is possible to select a day (apart from week-ends and Fridays) when ordering.
