Hazelnut (Nut trees)

A good pollinator. Ideal for northern climate region

Corylus americana, the American Hazelnut, is a specie of the genus Corylus that is native to eastern North America, in eastern Canada and the Eastern United States. The plant grows to a height of 8–12 feet, with a crown spread of 10 to 15 feet. It is a medium to large shrub that under some conditions can take the form of a small tree. It is an often multi-stemmed shrub with long, outward growing branches that form a dense, spreading or spherical shape.

American Hazelnut has edible small to medium size nuts (in certain case) that mature in September–October. The nuts are in multi cluster and have hard shell. This is a very good pollinator in spring for other varieties.

Suited for canadian climatic zone 2b and over.

 Very hardy hazelnut. Medium pollinator to hybrid hazelnut

Beaked hazel is a deciduous shrubby hazel found in most of North America, from southern Canada south to Georgia and California. It grows in dry woodlands and forest edges and can reach 4–8 metres (13–26 ft) tall with stems 10–25 centimetres (3.9–9.8 in) thick with smooth gray bark. The leaves are rounded oval, coarsely double-toothed, 5–11 centimetres (2.0–4.3 in) long and 3–8 centimetres (1.2–3.1 in) broad, with hairy undersides. The flowers are catkins that form in the fall and pollinate in the following spring.

Corylus cornuta is named from its fruit, which is a nut enclosed in a husk with a tubular extension 2–4 centimetres (0.79–1.57 in) long that resembles a beak. Tiny filaments protrude from the husk and may stick into, and irritate, skin that contacts them. The spherical nuts, which are surrounded by a hard shell, are edible.

Corylus colurna (Turkish hazel or Turkish filbert) is a deciduous tree native to southeast Europe and southwest Asia, from the Balkans through northern Turkey to northern Iran. It is the largest specieof hazel, reaching 25 m (82 ft) tall, with a stout trunk up to 1.5 m (4 ft ) in diameter; the crown is slender and conical in young trees, becoming broader with age. The bark is pale grey-buff, with a thick, corky texture. The leaves are deciduous, rounded, 6–15 cm long and 5–13 cm across, softly hairy on both surfaces, and with a coarsely double-serrate to shallowly lobed margin. The main limbs are quite small in diameter in relationship to the straight trunk, and arise at almost a 90-degree angle. Making the tree quite durable to urban conditions and helps maintain a symmetrical crown which landscape architects love so much. Corylus colurna has a medium growth rate.

Corylus colurna is occasionally drought tolerant and alkaline soil tolerant. However, it prefers moist, well-drained soil, as well as full sun. Once established Corylus colurna is tolerant of heat, cold, and drought. There are no serious pests or problems with Corylus colurna. Corylus colurna is not easily transplantable, and will need extra watering in summer after transplanting. It will take about two years after transplant for the tree to become establish and survive on its own.
