The Hazelnut tree (Corylus avellana) is a small, hardy tree or large shrub that produces delicious, nutrient-rich nuts and is easy to grow in temperate climates. It requires full sun, well-drained soil, and cross-pollination to produce a bountiful crop. With its attractive form, edible nuts, and multiple uses, the Hazelnut tree is an excellent choice for orchards, home gardens, or as part of a mixed landscape. Whether you’re growing it for its sweet nuts, its ornamental value, or its flexible wood, the Hazelnut tree is a rewarding and productive addition to any garden. Maximum Height and Spread: 8m (26ft)
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
Growing Information
Choose a sheltered position on moist, well drained soil in sun or light shade. Prior to planting Hazelnut trees, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and water well to settle the soil. To ensure pollination, it is best to grow hazelnuts in groups of two or more cultivars.
