Hazel Hedge- Corylus

Hazel (Corylus) Hedging is a familiar sight throughout Scotland with its mid-green leaves and long yellow catkins in early spring. It is a fast-growing tree or multi-branched native shrub. Fruit from Hazel hedge plants are produced as nuts in autumn. Common Hazel hedging plants are seen in traditional mixed hedging rather than a stand-alone hedge. Hazel plants are fully hardy, and are usually trouble free. They can be coppiced every few years to restrict their size.
