It always seems so gray and dreary during winter months with leaves absent from trees, overcast winter skies. That’s why finding trees with colored bark is just amazing for people who feel gloom setting in.  From HG TV, here are some great selections,

Witchhazel (Hamamelis sp.) unfurls its spidery flowers in either fall or deep winter (and sometimes even spring), depending on the species and cultivar. Some of the H. x intermedia) hybrids begin blooming in late January, the Japanese and Chinese witchhazels a month or so later. Fall foliage is colorful in all witchhazels. The spiderlike, fragrant yellow flowers of the common witchhazel (H. virginiana ) often get outdone by its yellow leaves. You can also find cultivars of H. virginiana that drop their leaves before the flowers form.

Gorgeous!
