Planting & Care

A stunning deciduous tree with deep purple foliage that provides year-round interest.
Produces delicious, richly-flavoured filberts (a type of hazelnut) ready for harvest from late September.
Pale yellow catkins appear on bare branches from late winter, providing a vital early food source for pollinators.
Self-pollinating, so you only need one tree to ensure a good harvest.
Versatile in the garden, it can be grown as a standalone feature tree, a hedge, or for screening.
Reaches up to 6 x 4 meters, but can be easily pruned to suit any garden size.
A recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, guaranteeing excellent performance.
Arrives expertly pruned to encourage a strong, bushy shape and prevent legginess.

Planting: Plant between September and November. This hazelnut thrives in any fertile, well-drained soil. If you have heavy clay soil, improve drainage by mixing in fine horticultural grit or perlite when planting.
Position: Choose a spot in full sun or partial shade that is protected from strong winds.
Pruning: Your tree has been pruned before arrival to encourage a strong, bushy habit. Prune annually in mid to late February to maintain its shape and size, and to encourage a good crop of nuts.
Hardiness: This tree is fully hardy for UK winters. However, late frosts can damage the blossoms. If frost is forecast while the tree is in blossom, protect it overnight with horticultural fleece.
Pollination: This variety is self-fertile, so a pollination partner is not required for a good yield.
