Corylus americana
An easy-to-grow native shrub that produces edible nuts in late summer. Able to thrive in a wide range of conditions, a good choice for hedgerow or windbreak. It can be pruned at any time of year and its deep green leaves produce copper and yellow in autumn. Highly attractive to wildlife, the nuts are eaten by all size mammals and birds. The dense, low growth habit provides cover and nesting sites for birds and other wildlife. A single shrub will produce some nuts, but as a wind-pollinated species 3-5 shrubs are recommended for optimal nut production. Bushy shrub. Average height 10 ft (3 m). Flowers in March-April and nut matures in August-September. Nuts rapidly removed by wildlife. Bareroot.
