American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) is a native shrub that offers clusters of sweet, edible nuts. Its rounded leaves and cascading branches make it a delightful addition to gardens. In spring, its catkins sway gracefully, heralding the arrival of warmer days. As summer progresses, the shrub is adorned with hazelnuts, ready to be harvested and savored.

    My order arrived on time but the plants were too young to be planted in ground, I put them in a small pot for this year.

    I’m giving it 3.5 stars. I ordered three American Hazelnut trees. Packaging was great but they came with some of the roots a little dry. I stuck them in some mulch, until ground planted, and watered the mulch to rehydrate. They are very small stemmed trees when I had received them. I planted them mid-April 2022. I waited to leave a review because I wanted to see how they would do. A little over a month later and two of the three have leaves on the entire stem, which is between 12”-18” overall. The third one is still producing leaves but only the bottom half is growing while the top half remains bare. I’m hoping that this one will turn around and I expect it to as the American hazelnut is a pretty hardy tree. I have mulched around the trees and put a metal chicken fence around them to protect them. I will update my review, if I can, with a higher rating once I give them a bit more time. I’ll also try and update with a picture.
    That said, at 3.5 stars I will purchase again from Food Forest Nursery and I would recommend them to friends and family that are looking for anything. I have my eye on Sumac for next year!

    Purchased to replace trees from another vendor that didn’t survive a very mild New England winter
    These were less than half the cost but were much larger and healthier.
