Question
I would like to know if it is common for Witch-Hazel to bloom in the fall as well as the spring. Attached are two pictures, one from November and the other from last Saturday of the same plant. I took a close-up picture (macro setting with the picture set set to 1 mb), it would not load, so here it is in the lowest setting.
Answer
Dear Bruce, no, I don't think that is particularly common. There are two species that grow in the northeast, one is wild and autumn-flowering, the other is cultivated and spring-flowering. But if these are of the same plant, that isn't something I've witnessed in this species before. Typically, I see the opposite, where spring-flowering plants will sometimes flower again during a mild autumn season.
