The Benefits of American Hazelnut

Corylus Americana, the American hazelnut, is a native shrub with good looks, four-season interest, and easy care that makes it a classic, old-fashioned shrub in the Midwest. A lovely native shrub with a rounded shape and graceful branching habit, this is a plant that can take its place in any number of garden settings.
On hazelnut plants, plump green catkins appear early in the spring as winter ends. By summer, the shrub is full and bushy, and in early fall, it will produce a cluster of hazelnuts.

American Hazelnut for Birds and Beautiful Fall Color

Gardeners love this shrub because it is so adaptable to a number of planting ideas. Whether you are looking for a feature plant, a grouping of shrubs for a mixed border, or a naturalizing planting, Corylus americana is an excellent native shrub that will bring shape and movement to your landscape. This shrub has attractive foliage with warm colors that change to shades of gold, russet, and soft copper in the fall.

It is a great addition to gardens for wildlife as well. Birds and native mammals use its hazelnuts as a food source in late summer, and the shrub’s branching habit is excellent for nesting and cover. Home gardeners appreciate its ability to grow in sun or part shade, and in a wide variety of soils. It’s also easy to grow and maintain.

 The biggest requirement is to make sure it has good soil and enough moisture the first season after planting. Beyond that, it quickly establishes itself and is good for adding native structure, four-season appeal, and low-maintenance growth to your garden.

American Hazelnuts Soft Form and Natural Elegance

Hazelnut shrubs offer subtle, natural beauty as a garden plant. Whether you are looking to create a garden with wildlife in mind, add to a natural border, or add native shrubs to create soft architectural form in the landscape, this is a great choice. It is a dependable shrub that will add to your garden each month of the year. The native American hazelnut (Corylus americana) is a good choice for a dependable native shrub with a graceful shape and good fall color.

Rich Nutritional Value

American Hazelnut is not just beautiful; it is also nutrient-dense. It provides essential fatty acids, protein, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Because of its rich nutritional profile, many people include these nuts in their diets. The tree produces nuts that are not only tasty but also contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Thus, incorporating American Hazelnut into your garden offers both aesthetic and health benefits.

Versatile Landscape Applications

The American Hazelnut shrub can serve multiple purposes in landscaping. It can be used as a hedge, a screen for privacy, or even as a specimen plant. However, its ability to tolerate different soil types and conditions makes it an excellent choice for various environments. Therefore, whether you are seeking to enhance your garden's beauty or need a reliable buffer, American Hazelnut can meet your landscaping needs.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Choice

Choosing to plant American Hazelnut is a step towards sustainability. This shrub is native to North America, which means it is well adapted to local climates and requires less water and maintenance than non-native species. Additionally, because American Hazelnuts attract pollinators, they contribute to the overall health of the local ecosystem. So, by planting these shrubs, you are helping to foster biodiversity and sustainability in your garden.
