American Hazelnut

Hazelnut trees, native to North America, are easy to grow and produce delicious, nutrient-dense nuts that are high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. These shrub-like trees grow 8-20 feet tall and wide, thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Plant in pairs to ensure pollination. With their attractive, round leaves and early spring catkins, hazelnuts make a great addition to any edible landscape.
