TTCH HAZEL BLDOM
COMES THIS MONTH
November is far removed from
‘ay, but at this season of the year,
hen autumn’s leaves .are falling and
‘ovember’s winds leave all trees
are except the cheerful evergreens,
sere is one little tree in the wood-
nds of Pennsylvania that brings
leasant memories of ‘the month of
owers. This tree, we are reminded
y State forester Jeseph S. Illick, is
1e Witch-hazel.
Probably no tree in the State so
ell illustrates lack of familiarity
ith our native trees for while
Vitch-hazel is the most common and
ridely distributed small tree in
ennsylvania, comparatively few
ersons know that it is ‘the last one
5 bloom during the year. More
aan that, itis the only Pennsylvania
ree that bears flowers and fruit at
ze same time. Clusters of the small
allow flowers,
a ribbon-like petals, crowd upon the
ranches laden with ripe nutlets
rom last year’s blossoms, and wave
1 ‘beauty throughout the entire
yonith of November.
Am interesting peculiarity . of the
ruiit, Illick pointed out, is the way
he shiny black seeds are @discharg-
a from their woody pods. The pod
ursts open when ripe, and as the
ontraction of its edges presses upon
he emelosed seeds it propels them
rom five to ten feet or more. Bring
ome a fruiting spray in November
nd place it on the table, and no
ooner has the warmth of the room
ried the little capsules than a min-
ature bombardment will begin and
ontinue wntil every seed is eata-
,ulted from its container.
The wood of Witch-hazel is not
ommercialy important, but the
caves and bark are reputed to
yossess medicinal properties, dating
jack to their use by the American
ndians in the treatment of external
nflammations. Whatever the exact
‘hemical nature may be there is no
loubt as to its soothing and healing
nfluences, witnessed by the wide de-
nand for witch-hazel extract in the
yarber shops of the nation.
Among foresters this tree is
tnown as an indicator species for it
hrives in moist locations. It is
haracteristic along streams and
swamps and the borders of lakes and
yonds, but wherever it is locally
.ommon it apparently reflects good
oil moisture. Its State-wide distri-
yution, for it occurs in every county,
dds its natural preference for grow-
ng in wet places, does not in any
vay support the claims of nature
ers, who profess the ability to lo-
.ate hidden springs with the forked
wigs of witch-hazel known as “di-
rining-rods.”
