The American Hazelnut is a versatile native plant. It can be grown as a shrub-tree or pruned to keep a single-stem form. It features unique spring catkins and tiny, red-tipped flowers. It uniquely shields its edible autumn nuts inside jagged, leaf-like armor. Prized for its natural resistance to destructive plant fungi, this tough, dense grower provides incredible wildlife habitat while bringing exceptional structural strength to native gardens.
