Cultivation American witchhazel
The American witchhazel develops like a shrub. They tend to develop like erect small trees. American witchhazel isn't an evergreen; during the autumn it assumes a yellow colouring; the adult species are large in size and reach 4 m in height.

Light American witchhazelSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. The American witchhazel bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures.During the winter months we can cover a portion of the soil near the roots with dry leaves or other mulch tissue; in this manner we will protect the plant from the harsh climate.

Water American witchhazelTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 1-2 buckets of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 2-3 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. Concerning those specimens grown in vases, let's remember that usually they need more watering, compared to the same shrubs placed in the ground. Moreover, they are often more sensible to temperatures, either very high or very low, and to radical apparatus diseases.

Pests American witchhazel
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold American witchhazel
These shrubs favour well drained substratums with a low PH.
