Description
The tree hazel grows into a stately, conical tree rather than a shrub, making it a popular heat- and drought-resistant urban tree. Its nuts are smaller and harder than those of the garden hazel, yet tasty. As a pollinator, it also benefits nearby hazel shrubs.
Care instructions
Plant the tree hazel in a sunny spot; it is low-maintenance and tolerates both drought and compacted soils. Plant it in autumn (October, week 43) and give it space, as it will grow larger with age. Pruning is rarely necessary—remove only problematic or diseased branches in winter.
