Hazelnut, American - - Corylus americana
The American Filbert is a multi-stemmed shrub with a rounded top
and an open, often wide-spreading base. Because of its size, it is adapts well
to naturalizing and other nonformal areas. It bears annual, abundant crops of small,
sweet tasting nuts. It will bear in 2-3 years after planting. The nuts are easy
to crack and drop free of the husk when mature. (Plant multiple trees with
the same flowering time to ensure pollination) (zone 4-9)
