It produces edible nuts in autumn and supports local wildlife, making it a valuable addition to edible and wildlife gardens. Its dense, rounded form and attractive foliage also work well in hedgerows, borders, and naturalized plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese bare root plants establish readily when planted in suitable conditions. They can be grown as a nut-producing shrub or allowed to naturalize in a wildlife-friendly garden. With proper care, they develop into productive, long-lived plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative North American shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces edible hazelnuts in fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts birds and small mammals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense growth habit suitable for hedges and screens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdaptable to a range of soil types\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 Medium; keep soil moist, especially during establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, spreading, 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 6-10 feet apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant bare root hazelnuts in early spring or late fall while they are dormant. Soak the roots for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots and set the plant at the same depth it grew previously. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, American Hazelnut is relatively low-maintenance. Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged wood and to maintain desired shape. These shrubs can sucker, forming a thicket over time, which is beneficial for wildlife habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 American Hazelnut bare root plants (Corylus americana).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739753152822,"sku":"EDNA-201","price":154.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8074950332_pgzl.jpg?v=1792115100","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/5-american-hazelnut-trees-bare-root-corylus-americana-live-nut-shrubs","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
