Description

This selection from Richard Jaynes, has finally answered the call for a fall-blooming Witch Hazel that blooms after the leaves have fallen. 'Harvest Moon' blooms on bare branches from early November right through Thanksgiving; its closely-spaced lemony yellow flowers are decidedly showier than the regular species. A large shrub to 18 feet high after 15 years.
