Hi Ben, I'm really coveting Hamamelis in my plant selection for my blank canvas garden in a very exposed windy part of North Cornwall right by the coast path. I've been wondering if there's a particular cultivar that would stand up to these conditions, do you know? I keep meaning to research a specialist nursery to explore further.....
I enjoyed the family backstory on Kalmthout witch hazels.
A gardening love story!

Short answer is probably not.
They’re not considered great on coastal exposure; however if there’s one going cheap in a nursery then it might be worth a go.
But certainly none are likely to be more tolerant than others.
I guessed that might be the case….but if i see a bargain then I’ll give it a shot!
