Corylus americana | American hazelnut

American hazelnut is an excellent native shrub to use in a deciduous screen or for naturalizing along the woodland edge. With a suckering habit, this species can be expected to reach 8-12’ tall, and is great for filling space. It is happy and produces best fall color in full sun, but is surprisingly tolerant of more shady areas and has a wide range of uses across all types of northeastern properties. Showy male catkins appear in early spring; edible nuts mature in fall. Suckers can be pruned to maintain a more compact form, but we recommend using this one where a thicket is desired. Plant multiple plants to ensure good nut production.

The conservation-grade shrubs offered by our nursery are produced by a regional grower with decades of experience growing plants for conservation and restoration. These shrubs are seed propagated from wild seeds collected within ecoregion 59 (Northeastern Coastal Zone) and are regionally-adapted to growing in our area. They are genetically diverse, maintaining the same characteristics of plants growing in the wild.

All shrubs are susceptible to deer browsing when small. At its mature size, Corylus americana is typically unbothered by deer, and its suckering habit makes it more adaptable in a natural landscape.
