Available to pre order - we will be digging from mid October.

Corylus avellana, commonly known as the hazelnut tree or European hazel, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to Europe and western Asia. It typically grows up to 3–8 meters in height, with a bushy, multi-stemmed form and rounded, serrated leaves. Known for producing edible hazelnuts. The tree is cultivated both for its nuts and as a valuable component of hedgerows and woodlands. The nuts ripen in late summer to early autumn and are harvested for use in culinary applications, such as in confectionery and as a raw snack. The tree also has significant ecological value, providing food and habitat for wildlife. Corylus avellana thrives in a range of soils and conditions, favouring well-drained, fertile ground, and is often seen in mixed woodland environments. Its historical importance in European culture is reflected in its use in traditional medicine and folklore.
