Group of shrubs growing in the planted triangle to the right after you cross the bridge over College Creek from the Memorial Union parking ramp.
A deciduous, rather
slow-growing shrub or small tree growing to 25 feet, usually with multiple,
leaning trunks and a spreading, irregular crown. Being the most cold-hardy
of all the witch-hazels, this species is native to the eastern US and southeast
Canada, south to central Florida and is found in the northeast and extreme
east central parts of Iowa. The coarse, irregular branching creates winter
interest in the landscape and the flowers are an attraction in the fall,
especially when combined with purple and red fall-colored shrubs.
