In late winter to early spring, it produces long, showy catkins. In late summer, it yields small, flavorful hazelnuts that are enjoyed by both people and wildlife. Its dense, rounded form and green foliage turn attractive shades of yellow and red in fall, making it a valuable addition to hedgerows, wildlife plantings, and edible landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bare root trees are 6-12 inches tall and are ready to plant. They are shipped dormant, which is the ideal state for bare root transplanting. With proper care, they will establish quickly and begin growing in their new location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative to North America, supporting local wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces edible hazelnuts in late summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShowy catkins in late winter to early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall foliage color in shades of yellow and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense growth habit, ideal for hedges and screens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corylus americana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, loamy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; keep soil moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, rounded, suckering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late winter to early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-12 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-10 feet apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant bare root trees as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for 1-2 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, and set the tree at the same depth it grew in the nursery. Backfill with native soil, tamp gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, American Hazelnut is relatively low-maintenance. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. These trees are self-fertile but produce better crops when planted with another hazelnut for cross-pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 bare root American Hazelnut trees, each 6-12 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835992703286,"sku":"FOLIA2-1617","price":228.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6579796556_8ksf.jpg?v=1793097014","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/2-american-hazelnut-trees-bare-root-6-12-tall-live-plants","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
