Great video and wonderful tree. I’m developing some winter hazel from nursery stock at the moment and would love to see more as there is little available on this wonderful species.

[@rakuyobonsai]

We'll do some more winter hazel content this year, good luck with yours!

Thanks Andrew! Amazon information and amazing tree!

[@rakuyobonsai]

My pleasure!

[@777greglee]

Thank you! Inspired me to chase one down.

[@rakuyobonsai]

Good luck with it! They're a treasure to have in the garden

What a gorgeous tree - the branch movement and cascading golden flowers are truly a work of art! What kind of light conditions does this species enjoy?

[@rakuyobonsai]

Full sun all day with 50% shade cloth during the summer

Thanks for sharing your beautiful winter Hazel, Andrew. I love the purple pot you have it paired with. Have you worked with many different cultivars?

[@rakuyobonsai]

Yes I've worked with a few and if they're the only thing you can find I wouldn't rule them out. However my two old ones are just regular Corylopsis spicata and I tend to prefer working with the straight species

[@rakuyobonsai]

I have but my two old ones are plain Corylopsis spicata and I usually find working with the straight species (with any plant) to be the most rewarding

@@rakuyobonsai thanks for the feedback! Love your channel!

nice tree.
i had a vision you did a loblolly video around decandling time 😊🖖

[@rakuyobonsai]

Vision or wishful thinking? ;)

[@paolomh113]

Hi, excellent timing! I will be doing mine... may I suggest a video on pots? I remember your great interview with Nao but I can't find much good info on pots (what makes a good old pot in particular) anyway, could you recommend a book on Oriental pots with more than photos, size, maker? Beautiful tree/pot. Thank you.

[@rakuyobonsai]

The next one I have in editing is about pots, coming soon!

[@Buddhamonk1981]

where can you find winter hazel in OR?

[@rakuyobonsai]

Try John Eads at Left Coast Bonsai

[@leanderbarrie]

Would that pinching tool work good on azalea flowers also? Or beter stay with small Bud sciccors?
A W E S O M E tree again!🌳

[@rakuyobonsai]

I usually use my fingers with a twisting motion to remove azalea flowers
