Witch Hazel Mulch

Witch hazel, or hamamelis virginiana, is a shrub that resembles a cross between a gray birch and mountain laurel and grows in profusion in northern forests. Native Americans called the plant "winterbloom" because of the distinctive yellow flowers produced in the late fall. They exploited the plant's astringent qualities by boiling the branches and bark in water to make a catch-all remedy for bruises and insect bites. These uses were passed on to the early New England settlers, who probably adopted the name witch hazel from the old English word "wych," meaning flexible, or because the distinctive yellow blooms colored the woods around Halloween.
