Details / Key Facts
Corylus avellana – Common Hazel is a vigorous, bushy native tree that makes a great country hedging plant for mixed hedges. It is shade tolerant, suitable for any soil and it bears edible nuts in autumn. In the wild, Hazel trees rarely grow with a single stem mainly because deer and other animals eat the leaves and shoots of young plants. They cause very bushy growth that ends up creating more of a large, multi stemmed shrub than a tree.
