Frequently Asked Questions
The blooms of Ozark Witch Hazel are a beautiful coppery-red to rusty-orange color. They are one of the earliest to bloom, typically appearing from December through March, depending on your location and the weather. They are also known for their wonderfully spicy fragrance.
This is a very low-maintenance tree. It is quite tolerant of different soil conditions and is generally pest and disease-free. The most important thing is to provide it with enough water, especially during its first growing season, to help it establish a strong root system.
Pruning is generally not necessary, as it naturally develops a beautiful vase shape. If you need to prune, do it after the tree has finished flowering in the spring to avoid cutting off the buds for the next season. You can remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain its health and shape.
