‘Westerstede’ is a yellow-flowered form with upright branching. It will typically grow to 8-12’ tall. It is noted for its winter-blooming, mildly fragrant, yellow flowers (to 1” long), each having four, narrow, ribbon-like petals that are straight rather than crinkly. Axillary clusters of these flowers bloom along the stems from mid-February to the end of March. Broad-oval, green leaves (to 6” long) turn bright yellow in fall. This cultivar was introduced by Heinrich Bruns of Westerstede, Germany, with the cultivar being named after the town where he once maintained a nursery.
