Winter hazel
Corylopsis spicata is a deciduous shrub native to Japan that can grow up to two meters wide and just over two meters tall. Depending on the region, the pendulous inflorescences appear as early as mid-March.
Pollinators include bumblebees; I have also observed flies on the flowers.
Corylopsis spicata is planted in Central Europe as an ornamental shrub in parks and gardens. It tolerates sunny to partially shaded locations.
