On Friday last (Nov. 19th) on a stroll around Point Pleasant Park, I looked for blossoms on witch hazel which in the past have been still quite numerous at this time of year. I saw only one on about 50 large shrubs/small trees examined. There were lots of finished blossoms. The next day I went to a talk by Laurie Lacie and the first slide he showed was of witch hazel so I asked him about flowers in his area (Bridgewater) at this time of year. He said there were exceptionally few compared to past years. So apparently, the factors that favoured so much early flowering this year by spring and sumer flowering species this year (or other factors) also favoured early completion of flowering by witch hazel I'm not sure about initiation of fall blooms, I usually see them from mid- September to early Dec. in PPP, but I didn't look specifically for early blooms this year.
