American Witchhazel is a shrub or small tree with arching branches generally growing as a dense, multi-stemmed clump reaching heights of 20 to 30 feet and widths of 15 to 20 feet, however the shrub form typically does not grow over 12 to 15 feet tall.
American witchhazel is adaptable to home landscaping situations. It should be planted on the north side of homes and north-facing slopes where semi-shaded habits are more common. It prefers rich moist soils and requires regular watering when being established. If planted in the full sunlight it may suffer, occurring in nature as an understory plant.
