This is the rare single-trunk tree-form version of the Golden Spring Winter Hazel, scientifically known as Corylopsis spicata. It is lesser-known than other late winter to early spring flowering shrubs such as Forysthia and Quince, but we think it is a more beautiful and elegant shrub. Golden Spring Winter Hazel is extra special in that its leaves emerge bright yellow with rouge-red tinting, turning to a golden-yellow in the sun or soft chartreuse to lime green in the shade and finally to golden and orange hues in fall. Heralding the arrival of spring in late winter, LOADS of drooping racemes packed with fragrant, luminous, soft yellow flowers appear along all the bare, zig-zagging stems before the leaves emerge. Growing to about eight feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, Golden Spring is a magnificent addition to a sunny or shady woodland border or around patios and other outdoor sitting and living spaces. It will always have you looking forward to its glorious winter bloom.
