🌰 Corylus avellana (Grafted Varieties) – Hazelnut Trees

Corylus avellana, commonly known as the Hazel Tree, is a traditional and productive garden favourite, now available in specially grafted varieties for improved nut yield, consistency, and compact growth. These grafted hazelnut trees are ideal for both home gardens and orchards, offering delicious harvests while adding ornamental value.

🌟 Key Features

• Nut Production: Produces large, flavourful hazelnuts that ripen in late summer to early autumn.

• Grafted Varieties: Offer greater reliability, stronger growth, and higher nut yields compared to seed-grown trees.

• Attractive Foliage: Heart-shaped green leaves provide seasonal interest, turning golden yellow in autumn.

• Wildlife Friendly: Supports biodiversity by providing food and shelter for pollinators, birds, and small mammals.

• Easy to Grow: Hardy, low-maintenance, and suitable for a wide range of garden conditions in Ireland.

🌱 Planting & Care

• Position: Full sun to partial shade, sheltered from strong winds.

• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.

• Watering: Keep well-watered during the first few years; drought tolerant once established.

• Pollination: Best yields are achieved when planted with another compatible hazelnut variety.

🌳 Landscaping & Garden Use

• Perfect for edible gardens, orchards, or wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

• Compact enough for smaller gardens while still offering high nut production.

• Can be trained as a specimen tree, in groups, or even used as part of a natural hedgerow.
