Bloom Color: Brown.
Main Bloom Time: Early spring, Late spring, Mid spring. May also be known as: Aveleira, Avelinier, Avellana, Avellano, Coudrier, European Filbert, European Hazel, Haselnuss, Haselstrauch, Hazel, Hazel Nut, Noisetier, Noisetier Commun, Noisetier du Japon, Noisette, Noisettes. Form: Rounded.
Corylus avellana is a deciduous Tree growing to 6 m by 3 m at a medium rate.
It is hardy to zone 4 and is not frost tender. It is in flower from January to April, and the seeds ripen from September to October. The species is monoecious and is pollinated by Wind. The plant is not self-fertile.
It is noted for attracting wildlife.
Suitable for: light , medium and heavy soils. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic soils and can grow in very acid and very alkaline soils.
It can grow in semi-shade or no shade. It prefers moist soil. The plant can tolerates strong winds but not maritime exposure.
Global Crop Industrial Crop: Biomass Management: Coppice Management: Standard Staple Crop: Protein-oil
Landscape Uses:Container, Standard, Specimen. An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils, but is in general more productive of seeds when grown on soils of moderate fertility. It does less well in rich heavy soils or poor ones. Does well in a loamy soil. Very suitable for an alkaline soil, but it dislikes very acid soils. Succeeds in a pH range 4.5 to 8.5, but prefers a range of 5 to 7. Plants are fairly wind tolerant. A very hardy plant, succeeding in all areas of Britain. The flowers, however, are produced in late winter and early spring and can be damaged by heavy frosts at this time. A parent, together with C. maxima, of many cultivated forms of filberts and cob nuts. There are many named varieties. Plants are self-fertile but a more certain crop is obtained if more than one cultivar is grown. The main difference between cob nuts and filberts is that the husk of a filbert is longer than the seed and often completely encloses it, whilst the husk on a cob nut is shorter than the seed. Squirrels are a major pest of this plant, often decimating the crop of nuts. Often grown as a coppiced shrub in woodlands, the stems have a variety of uses. Members of this genus bear transplanting well and can be easily moved even when relatively large. A food plant for the caterpillars of many lepidoptera species. Special Features:Not North American native, Attractive flowers or blooms. The plant is heat tolerant in zones 9 through 1. .
At this temperature, many plants begin to suffer physiological damage. Heat Zones range from 1 to 12 .
For example Heat Zone. 11-1 indicates that the plant is heat tolerant in zones 11 through 1.) For polyculture design as well as the above-ground architecture information on the habit and root pattern is also useful and given here if available. A clumping plant, forming a colony from shoots away from the crown but with a limited spread . The root pattern is suckering with new plants from underground runners away from the plant .
