Description

Hazel, Corylus avellana, is probably the best known plant out of all hedging plants. It actually isn’t, in my opinion, an ideal species for a hedge as it isn’t stock proof on its own. It probably only ended up being called a hedge row plant by accident. I would guess squirrels would have stolen Hazel nuts from a local cottage garden and hidden them in the nearby hedge row forgetting where they were in a year of plenty. The nut would grow up happily in the hedge and mature reasonably well, although in a hedge it would not be fully appreciated if the hedge was cut regularly.

Hazel achieves its full potential when grown as an individual bush when catkins form all over it in the spring and nuts form in the autumn. Gardeners also take sticks from the bush for vegetable and flower supports.
Medium to large garden any soil type.
