Question from
paula hewitt
Hi there,
I have a lovely witch hazel in my front garden and it appears that in the same huge pot another plant with vivid red branches was growing right next to it. I thought it must be a weed and pulled it out without researching it! It had a very good root system - could it be a shoot out from my w hazel, i know they are decidious............ no sign of buds yet either.
Thanks in advance
Paula
