It grows naturally as a many stemmed shrub rather than a single trunked tree, which makes it useful where a hedge needs body low down. Plant two different cultivars if nuts matter, because most selections set poorly on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Hazelnut\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinter Catkins\u003c\/strong\u003e: Long yellow catkins hang from bare wood in July and August, well before anything else has moved.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti Stemmed Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e: The natural habit is a cluster of upright stems, giving a broad screening shrub rather than a lollipop tree.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leaves turn clear yellow through April and May in cool districts before falling cleanly.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoppices Willingly\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cut hard to the base it regrows vigorously, which is how straight stems and bean poles have been produced from it for centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdible Crop\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nuts ripen from late summer into autumn once a compatible pollinating cultivar is planted nearby.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool climate edible screen\u003c\/strong\u003e: A row along a fence in Tasmania, Victoria or the tablelands doubles as privacy and orchard.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeciduous windbreak\u003c\/strong\u003e: It filters wind through the growing season while letting winter sun reach the house.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoodland edge planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sited at the margin of a deciduous grove it links canopy trees to shrub level planting.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoppice bed for stems\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cut on a rotation it supplies straight, flexible stems for garden structures and stakes.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2m to 3m centres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 4m to 5m centres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter, while fully dormant, from June to August\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, moist but free draining loam around pH 6 to 7.5.
