In spring, witch-hazel produces new foliage, which slowly unfurls into mature, dark green, deeply toothed leaves with a beautiful texture. While plants are perhaps most vivid looking in the summer, autumn is when witch-hazel truly stands out. After the plant's dazzling fall show of golden yellow leaves has wrapped up and leaves have started to follow, the plant's seed pods, which typically take a full year to develop, begin to literally pop, sending seeds flying through the forest understory! During this same time, the plant's unique, fringey, lemon-yellow flowers begin to bloom on the plants' bare branches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eHamamelis virginiana\u003c\/em\u003e typically grows to about 10-15' tall, but occasionally reaches greater heights of up to 35', quite large for an understory plant. As an understory tree, witch-hazel performs well in almost any light, soil, or moisture condition, though it prefers well-draining soils with some acidity. In much of the northeastern US, witch-hazel is among the last native plants to flower in the fall, blooming well into November and even December; some blooms, dependent on cultivar and slight seasonal differences, may open as late as January or February in mild winters. All of this activity through the fall and winter is sure to add a ton of seasonality, and the tree's appearance is only one half of the story, since trees play host to a number of butterfly and moth larvae as well as a huge variety of songbird species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Church Hill Nursery, LLC","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":54233905627411,"sku":"HamaviUN#1","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":47717859524883,"sku":"HamaviUN#3","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Gallon","offer_id":49319082787091,"sku":"HamaviUN#7","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/3283\/8419\/files\/Hamamelis_virginiana_yellow_foliage_2024-11-01_800x800_36db153e-2f1c-4eb0-b333-b54d172f261f.jpg?v=1730721640"},{"product_id":"myrica-cerifera-southern-wax-myrtle-unity-grown","title":"Myrica cerifera (Southern Wax Myrtle) Unity Grown","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMyrica cerifera\u003c\/em\u003e, commonly known as southern wax myrtle and known by the other scientific moniker \u003cem\u003eMorella cerifera\u003c\/em\u003e, is a large, broad-leaved evergreen shrub with aromatic leaves, closely related to dwarf wax myrtle, \u003cem\u003eMyrica pusila\u003c\/em\u003e; the two plants are so closely related that there is some debate whether southern wax myrtle is actually a separate species from \u003cem\u003eMyrica pusila\u003c\/em\u003e, or if it is just a naturally dwarfed cultivar. Growing to a maximum height of 25-35' tall and 8-10' wide, though typically much smaller, \u003cem\u003eMyrica cerifera\u003c\/em\u003e is an extremely hardy shrub once established, and can be found in a wide range of habitats thanks to its tolerance of heat, drought, salt, and poorly-draining wet soils. \u003cem\u003eMyrica cerifera\u003c\/em\u003e is not, however, very tolerant of cold temperatures, and foliage will look best in mild winters; cold, windy winters can cause the plant to defoliate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSouthern wax myrtle blooms in early to late spring, depending on climate, and produces small, inconspicuous yellow-green flowers, which eventually turn to the blue-gray berries that give \u003cem\u003eMyrica cerifera\u003c\/em\u003e its other common name of waxberry.
