Witch-Hazel

Despite the very cold freezing weather and lack of sunshine, the first winter bloomers can already be spotted in nature, like this Witch-Hazel.

The Witch-Hazel is a large shrub or small deciduous tree, native to China, Japan and north America.
It was introduced into European gardens at the end of the 19th century.

The picture shows a cross breeding between a Chinese and Japanese Witch-Hazel.
