An easy-to-grow shrub that in summer produces hazelnuts, harvested in fall, that can be roasted and eaten, ground into flour or left for the birds and squirrels. Makes a great screen or hedge and also grows well in open woodland areas where it can stretch out.
Yellowish-brown catkins appear late winter. Fall color ranges from bright yellow to shades of orange, red and purple.
