Enjoyed your information. I didn't know what pollinated this species. And, I didn't know about the aphid galls looking like little witch hats. That is helpful. Was searching to find out if witch hazel supports any leptidopteran larvae. I am a big fan of Doug Tallamy's work (Bringing Nature Home, Natures Best Hope and his other books) and really want to utilize species that feed the base of the food chain - especially the birds feeding nestlings and young. Thanks again!
I planted a witch hazel last spring in my native garden. The squirrels chewed a lot of it off over the winter, and I've been babying it all spring. Today, while I was at work, the lawn care guy pushed aside all of the edging stones I had around it with his riding mower and mowed it down to the ground. I just stood there next to its remains and cried. Are they resilient shrubs? Is there any hope?!
both the leaves and fruit remind me of a shrub that tried to evolve into an oak tree lol. do you know if they are found in northeastern Pennsylvania by chance? specificly around Scranton
Thanks!
