We used to have a nursery witch hazel, which turned out to be grafted to native root stock. It started one year to bloom twice -- in the early spring and late in the fall -- so we pruned it for half-and-half, which worked fine for a few years. It pretty much died last year, so it's no longer a cool oddity in our garden. There were a couple of eagles off the deck today doing a mating dance.
