OTHER: The American Hazelnut is a shrub or small tree native to the eastern US & Canada. They are grown for their edible nuts, their value to wildlife, & as an ornamental. The Hazelnut has a medium to fast growth rate. They tolerate soil that is dry or moist, as well as rocky, sandy & heavy clay soil. They can easily pruned into your desired form. The plants have both male & female flowers that look different from one another. The male flowers are 2 - 3" long & showy, & the reddish female flowers turn into fruit (nuts). These edible Hazelnuts are sweet & are roasted or made in to flour. The nuts are also loved by squirrels, deer, turkey, woodpeckers, pheasants, quail, grouse, & jays. In fall, the leaves turn lovely combinations of yellow, orange, rose, & purplish red.
