Hazel is great for hedging or inclusion in hedgerow schemes. It is very tough and resistant to frost. It grows well in damp, fertile soils, as well as those drier, rocky areas. One great thing about using Corylus avellana as hedging plants is that you can cut part way into the stem, lay it at an angle which then forms a strong stock proof barrier/ boundary hedge - sort of like 'pleaching'.
