American Hazelnut

$20.00
52 available

(Corylus americana)

American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) is a versatile, multi-stemmed native shrub prized for its edible nuts and dense, vibrant autumn foliage. Growing 8 to 16 feet tall and 8 to 13 feet wide, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a wide range of soil types, including well-drained loams, heavy clays, and poor, dry soils (USDA Zones 4–9). Spring brings long, showy male catkins before the leaves emerge, followed by small, sweet hazelnuts encased in papery husks by late summer that feed both wildlife and humans. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, it is an ideal choice for naturalized borders, windbreaks, native hedges, and wildlife gardens.

  • Purchased and reserved trees can be picked up at the Sand Hill Nursery at the pickup dates and times noted in your confirmation email.

  • Size = size of the pot they are currently in. The actual height of trees varies from 1' to 6'.

  • Link to more information about tree species.

  • Click here for how to plant your tree once you have it.

  • Click here for the tree wizard to help select a tree for your space.
