Corkscrew Hazel
A large shrub or small tree, Corylus avellana Contorta is a form of our native Hazel, found growing wild in an English hedgerow in the 1860's. It is well-known because of its unusual and very ornamental twisted branches. In some parts of Europe, the corkscrew Hazel is used in Easter celebrations: branches are brought into the house and decorated, much like a Christmas tree! The Corkscrew Hazel has dark green foliage producing good Autumn colour. In the Spring, the yellow, male catkin-like tassels are long and pendulous. An ideal specimen plant bringing excellent interest to the Winter and Spring garden. Can also be trained as a bonsai or use the branches in floristry.
