The Witch Hazel Arnold Promise (Hamamelis intermedia 'Arnold Promise') is distinguished by its striking beautiful bright yellow, fragranted flowers, which appear during June. Its attractive rounded foliage provides brilliant autumn colours.
An upright tree, strong-growing tree, with a compact form it hails from the United States. With a height of up to 4 metres (13 ft) after 10 years, we highly recommend this tree for a small garden. We do, however, advise against planting this tree on very dry, limey soils, although well drained soil is its preference.
Our Witch Hazel trees are supplied at a height of between 0.7 to 1.0 metres in a 12 Litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootball trees.
Ornamental Tree Roots In The Shade e.g. Behind A Fence
It is more important that that foliage (posh term for leaves) receives the sunlight than the roots. So if the canopy of your ornamental tree can sunbathe but the bottom of your tree thinks there has been a nuclear winter then that is ok. You might want to ensure you have good drainage as water and no sun is the start of algae and other such issues.

Planting In The Corner Of A Garden
Air and light is reduced in this location which could promote fungus and bacterial issues. If the corner is of the house and a fence then you also have leeching issues to contend with from cement and wood preservatives. Also when it rains, that area would experience higher water levels so we advise against it unless the plant is very hardy.
