Hazelnut; Filbert (Corylus americana)

A full, mounding shrub in sun, more rangy in shade. Many of us at the Preserve begin to get excited about spring when tiny red flowers bloom on the twigs in March. The unusual nuts are covered with hairy, leaf-like husks that turn from green to yellow in the summer. Nuts are edible if you get to them before the squirrels. Easy-to-grow shrub in average to dry soil.
