Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

A beautiful deciduous tree with striking, deep purple foliage that provides colour from spring to autumn.
This variety is a filbert, producing delicious, round, medium-sized nuts with a smooth, hard shell.
In late winter, pale yellow catkins appear on bare branches, providing a vital early food source for pollinators.
Self-pollinating, meaning you only need one tree to ensure a good harvest of nuts from late September.
A versatile and compact choice, it can be grown as a feature tree, hedge, or screen, and easily pruned to suit any garden size.
Honoured with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its reliability and excellent garden performance.
