Native to the Northeastern United States and Eastern Asia, Witch Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, is a shrub that produces very distinctive yellow blossoms that appear during cooler Autumn temperatures. Folk history indicates that the branches likely were used in ancient times as divining rods. Its intriguing name is believed to originate in the ancient language of Old English where the word wice meant bendable.
