Benefits: Pollinators, Birds
Sun: Full, Partial
Soil Moisture: Medium-Wet, Medium, Medium-Dry
Height: 8-10 Feet
Bloom Time: April (late season nuts)
In our area on the trails, Hazelnut is one of our first bloomers! However the showy period for this tree is its developing hazelnuts. The Hazelnuts are edible and also called American Filberts. It is a rhizomatous tree, spreading by an underground root system. American Hazelnut is a unisexual species, with separate male and female parts on the same branch. A single tree can produce nuts, but a small colony of trees may be needed for high yields. Cross-pollination is achieved by wind.
