American Hazelnut - Bare Root Shrub

$12.00

1-2’ Bare Root Shrub

(Corylus americana)

One of two native hazelnut species (the other being the Beaked Hazelnut, which is found in shadier parts of the woods), the American Hazelnut is a common roadside or forest edge shrub growing to be 10’ tall. The nuts are smaller than the cultivated European Hazelnuts, but taste the same and are well worth the effort to crack them open (if you can beat the animals to them). Relatively fast growing, it will send out suckers to form a dense thicket or hedge. It is one of the earliest plants to flower in the spring showcasing small purple male flowers and large yellow catkins.
