Witch hazel: Hamamelis.

Someone else will have to tell you which one.

I'd be tempted to call it Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane '.

Thanks! The 'Diane' looks about right from a google image search. The size of the one I saw was much smaller and a bit sprawling. Would it just be a young one?

It looks like my 'Diane' as well. Yes it could be young.
