Hamamelis virginiana ‘Mohonk Red’ – Common Witch-hazel – 7-Gallon

Here it is, folks, a red-flowered Common Witch-hazel! Not the dark red seen on some Asian hybrids, but a fine light red which shades to yellow at the tips of the petals. Flowers have a nice fragrance and open in mid autumn along with the species. The original tree was found growing just a hop, skip and a jump from here at the Mohonk Preserve in the Shawangunks.
