      Why plant Audubon® Native Common Witchhazel - USDA Organic?

      Combining beauty and function into one package with Witch Hazel trees, known for their fantastic fall foliage and sweetly scented flowers to their incredible homeopathic healing qualities. The handsome architecture of this tree adds a unique flair to any landscape! Clusters of emerging ribbon-like flowers and crinkled petals scattered all over the tree going from green to a brilliant golden yellow in the fall. An absolute showpiece in your garden in all its floral splendor lasting all through fall! This picturesque woodland shrub is a must-have for you and the birds to enjoy all year long!

      The first clue to the Native Americans that there was something unusually special about Witch Hazel may have been the golden flowers blooming in the dead of winter. Many Native Americans like the Osage, Potawatomi, and Mohegans used Witch Hazel bark to treat skin ulcers and sores. They would steam the twigs and branches over hot rocks in their sweat lodges to soothe sore muscles. They also taught English settlers about dowsing, an ancient method for finding underground water using Y-shaped witch hazel sticks. When water was below them, the sticks would bend downward. Native Americans believed Witch Hazel to have many magical powers, which in the eyes of modern medicine have shown to be true. Now being mass-produced throughout the world known as the "Golden Treasure," an astringent to heal the skin from wounds, scars and help stop bleeding are just a few of its qualities. As one of the only medicinal plants approved by the FDA, Witch Hazel has been benefitting not just landscapes but also human health for centuries. Another gift from the Native Americans teaching us about these incredible woodland shrubs!

      How to use Audubon® Native Common Witchhazel - USDA Organic in the landscape?

      Adding a splash of color to any garden, and imagine having a shrub that flowers in February and March? In all that gloomy dormancy, you’ll see Witch Hazel emerging in life!

      Audubon® Plants for Birds Program

      Audubon is devoted to protecting birds and the places they need, while Bower & Branch is devoted to the growth of true native trees and plants–no cultivars or hybrids. Together, we strive to unite communities in conservation and inspire individuals to cultivate a better world for birds starting in their own backyards, balconies, or patios. By guiding and recommending trees and plants truly native and beneficial to your region, we can really start to make a difference.

      What is the definition of Native?

      “In the United States, a native plant is defined as one that was naturally found in a particular area before European colonization. Native plants are the foundation of a region’s biodiversity, providing essential food sources and shelter for birds, especially those threatened by the changing climate. Since native plants are adapted to local precipitation and soil conditions, they generally require less upkeep, therefore helping the environment and saving you time, water, and money.” – The National Audubon Society

      What does it mean to be USDA Organically grown?

      • USDA Organic crops are grown exclusively on land that has gone without having non-USDA Organic approved substances applied for three years.
      • No pesticides for us, please! Organically grown crops are highly regulated on what can and cannot be used for pest control—worried about harsh chemicals that have been sprayed on your plant? There is only a small number of approved synthetic chemicals that are allowed to be used. Otherwise, farmers use strict biological, mechanical, and physical management practices.
      • Not just any type of seeds are used to grow and harvest organic plants: farmers can only use organic seeds or organically raised seedlings in their organic fields.
      • Only the best handling is allowed! Organic and non-organic crops are not allowed to be commingled or near each other. Cross-contamination can occur, botching the organic plant's purity due to non-organic substances that could have been sprayed on non-organic harvests; this would cause the organic plant to be considered compromised.
      • Fields are carefully cultivated through crop rotation and proper tillage practices to ensure that the soil and the soil's nutrients are kept at a happy balance. Animal manure, not sludge, is allowed to help infuse the soil with nitrogen to support the growth of the organic crops.

      Planting Zones

      Hardiness Zone: 4-8

      How To Plant Audubon® Native Common Witchhazel - USDA Organic

      Witch Hazel likes a soil enriched with compost and appreciates shade during the hottest hours of the day (around 1pm to 3pm). Don’t worry about protecting the blossoms from frost! They can handle it. The strappy flowers contract on extremely cold days and unfurl again on milder ones.

      How To Water

      Witch Hazel will appreciate regular water during its first few years in the ground and irrigation during long dry spells after it’s established.

      How To Fertilize

      Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.

      How To Prune

      If needed, prune your Common Witch Hazel in early spring, before your tree begins to leaf out.

      How Does Shipping Work?

      Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

      *Big trees and shrubs, Size XL and bigger, will take approximately 21 to 28 days to be delivered, during live shipping periods.

      Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

      Shipping Delays:

      From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

      How Does Sizing Work?

      The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health.. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

      Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

      All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
