I have one of these gorgeous shrubs, but the more I read about it, the more I don't understand!
I read that the flowers are part sterile, and that they pollinate themselves. I had flowers, but somehow I cut the spent flowers off, I didn't know they would make berries.
On a website today I read that, in order for it to make berries, I need another sort planted nearby.
If that is true, can you tell me which one I should get, preferabely lace cap flowers also.
Thank you, you are all so helpful, I learn a lot here!
EDITED: correction, I have a SHOSHONI not a mariesii
Scott, if you would happen to read this; I got my hamamelis jelena, 6 foot tall, and a small primavera too. Thank you for putting me on to these, they are enchanting!On a funnier note; my son (6) saw this shrub and asked me if I put shrimp in the tree for the birds!

Picture; my jelena!!!!
