It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
"Feeling Good" by various artists
This is what my Hamamelis x intermedia would be singing if it could.
For several months most of the leaves have resembled the dried crusty leaf in the top left of the photo, but today I saw new bright green growth. I don't know why it went dry and crusty, as it has easily had as much water as the Magnolia and Camellia, and I don't think witch hazel has much higher water requirements than those plants. But in any case, I think the very damp few days have been good for it.
I have biiiiig seed pods on the Hamamelis. I gather they explode open up to a year after forming. Am I going to be tying plastic bags over them to catch the seeds and propagate them? If that's what I have to do, you betcha!
