Irene in Edmonton writes:

I have been searching for a witch-hazel shrub/tree and I am having no success in locating any nursery that sells this beautiful shrub. Do you know of any nurseries that stock it?

Garden Making replies:

We asked on Twitter, but also emailed Simone Lounsbery at Vineland Nurseries in Vineland, Ontario. Simone emailed information to Irene about our native witch-hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), which blooms in fall, as well as H. vernalis, which is also cold hardy for Edmonton. Irene was so pleased that she wrote to tell us: “I  want to thank the person who went to the trouble to respond to my email inquiry regarding witch-hazel.  I was getting nowhere with my own detective work. Your efforts are important to me and the new home that I am endeavouring to create with the witch-hazel bush/tree in that new landscape.”

For more on witch-hazels, see Stephen Westcott-Gratton’s article on The first flowers of spring.

    I also would like to buy a witch hazel tree, and can’t find one here in the South Okanagan.

    I was reading your article https://gardenmaking.com/can-buy-witch-hazel/ but it did not answer the question. Do you know of a supplier of Hamamelis virginiana, Common Witch hazel?
