Well, thank you very much. If it were in my power I'd have a small crew installing a witch hazel tree at your place right now.

Thank you - it's an interesting plant.
No, I think that they require warmer winters than Québec offers.

Thanks. I've heard of witch hazel being used - do you use it as a liquid, and what the heck is it for?

Witch Hazel has astringent properties.It can be taken internally (diluted) usually in the form of a tincture, used superficially as a compress for bleeding and also used as a skin toner for oily skin, It can be bmixed with other herbs n things for many other types of health problems

Thank you. It's got to be a tough plant to flower in our winter, but every year it manages.

You're very welcome. You should see a fair bit of it this time of year. Most of them have yellowish petals rather than these orangy-red ones.
