Beaked Hazel

Overview

Beaked Hazel (Corylus cornuta) is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub native to North America. Growing up to 8 feet tall in ideal conditions, it features oval green leaves that turn yellow-orange in the fall, forming a spectacular color display. It has small golden-yellow male catkins that appear in the spring, and its small, nut-like fruits are held in the cup-like involucres that give the plant its common name. Beaked Hazel is a resilient species that is tolerant of different soils and climates. It can thrive in partial shade or full sun, and is popular for its tolerant nature and its ability to provide winter interest in your garden.
