Help identifying this species: UPDATE mystery solved

As usual you find a tree forgotten in a corner of a garden centre and the label is blank. Help needed to identify this species… what’s really distinctive is that reddish/brown colour around the edge of the leaves. Some people suggested witch hazel to me (possible Jelena variety) but I can’t find pictures of early spring with such a pattern (although some images from fall seem to have a different colour on the edge).

Thank you in advance.

UPDATE: After some forensic analysis of the blank label under different lights and angles, I could faintly read Hamamelis intermedia jelena.
