Corylus colurna | Turkish Hazel | Chinese Hazelnut

Description: Corylus colurna, commonly known as Turkish Hazel or Turkish Filbert, is a distinctive deciduous tree native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. This tree's unique growth habit and ornamental features make it a standout in landscapes. Its leaves are oval-shaped with serrated edges, creating a pleasing backdrop for its other attributes. In early spring, the tree produces long, elegant catkins that dangle gracefully from its branches, adding an air of elegance to the environment. As the seasons progress, Corylus colurna develops small, edible nuts encased in leafy husks. These nuts are a delight for both humans and wildlife. Thriving in a range of soil types and lighting conditions, this tree offers both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits, embodying the beauty and usefulness of trees in garden design. Zones 4-7.GerminationCorylus colurna seed germination requires specific steps. Store the nuts in a cool, dry place until you're ready to plant them. In late fall or early winter, plant the nuts directly in well-draining soil about 2 inches deep. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Germination can take several months and may not occur all at once. Once the nuts have germinated and sprouted, provide them with appropriate sunlight, water, and protection from pests. Keep in mind that growing hazelnuts from seeds is a gradual and variable process, so patience is essential. Pictures courtesy of Jean-Pol GRANDMONT
