Description
American hazelnut is an important food source for wildlife and a great plant to include in your edible native landscape design. The nuts are small but tasty, feeding all kinds of critters. It is the larval host plant for the spectacular Polyphemus moth and the early hairstreak butterfly. Unlike it’s forest dwelling cousin, beaked hazelnut, this species wants to be in the wide open; it prefers open fields with decent loamy soils and full sun. The species has a tendency to sucker; it’s not uncommon for a single plant to have a dozen or more stems arising from a centralized area. Can grow up to 8-10 feet high.
12″ inch plants in 1-2 gallon pots, $18 each
