- A beautiful deciduous tree or shrub with striking purple foliage.
- This type of hazelnut is known as a filbert, producing delicious, round, medium-sized nuts.
- Produces pale yellow catkins on bare branches from late winter to spring, attracting early pollinators.
- Self-pollinating, so only one tree is needed for a good yield of nuts, ready for harvest in late September.
- Versatile and can be grown as a standalone tree or used for hedging or screening.
- Reaches up to 6 x 4 meters, but can be trimmed to suit any garden size.
- Recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
- Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a stronger, bushier shape.
