Hazelnut is a versatile native shrub that thrives in average, medium, well-drained soil with full sun to part shade exposure, making it an excellent choice for sustainable landscape design. Typically growing 8-16 feet tall, it naturally occurs statewide in dry or moist thickets, woodlands, and wood margins. Female flowers develop into small, egg-shaped nuts that provide valuable food sources for wildlife. At Webbedfoot Designs, we emphasize the prompt removal of root suckers to maintain the plant’s aesthetic appeal and to manage thicket formation as desired. Incorporating Hazelnut into your landscape promotes native biodiversity while ensuring a healthy, resilient environment.
