Description
Witch-hazel is a native flowering shrub in the family Hamamelidaceae. The name Hamamelis means that the flowers bloom at the same time as the fruit from the previous year is ripening. There are three species in North America and two in Asia. The North American species are occasionally called winterbloom because they bloom in the late fall with stringy, yellow flowers that kind of resemble forsythia.
This is a twig with an emerging bud and a fruit. I took the picture March 22, 2014, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA.
