Native nut. Wildlife magnet. The most productive edible shrub in the eastern forest.

Corylus americana, the American Hazelnut, is the native nut shrub that every food forester, wildlife manager, and habitat gardener should be growing. It produces clusters of small, sweet hazelnuts that ripen in late summer, establishing faster than any nut tree and beginning to fruit in as little as three to five years from seed. It tolerates shade, poor soils, wet sites, and dry hillsides with the same easy reliability and spreads naturally by root suckers to form dense, productive thickets that provide nesting cover and food for dozens of wildlife species. Squirrels, deer, turkeys, grouse, and over 20 bird species rely on American Hazelnut for food. If you are looking to buy American Hazelnut seeds or grow this native nut shrub from seed, nothing else produces edible nuts this quickly and this reliably in the eastern United States.

  • Begins producing edible hazelnuts within 3 to 5 years of planting, faster than any nut tree
  • Spreads by root suckers to form dense wildlife thickets providing cover and food
  • Tolerates shade, poor soils, wet sites, and dry slopes with exceptional adaptability
  • Native across the eastern United States and Great Lakes region, extremely cold-hardy to zone 4
  • Catkins provide one of the earliest pollen sources of spring for native bees emerging from winter dormancy

Things you probably did not know about the American Hazelnut

Indigenous peoples selected and managed hazelnut groves for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence from sites across the eastern United States shows hazelnut shells in abundance, indicating that hazelnuts were a major caloric food source in pre-contact North America. Many Native American communities actively managed hazelnut thickets by burning them on rotation to encourage vigorous new growth and higher nut production. The hazelnuts were eaten fresh, dried for winter storage, and ground into a flour used in soups and porridges.

The catkins open before any leaves emerge and before most insects are active. American Hazelnut is wind-pollinated, releasing pollen from its dangling catkins in late winter and early spring when temperatures barely rise above freezing. The tiny, bright red female flowers that receive the pollen are almost invisible to the naked eye. The entire pollination event happens in a few weeks before most gardeners notice anything is happening.

A single hazelnut provides more energy per gram than a handful of blueberries. Hazelnuts are roughly 60 percent fat, primarily heart-healthy oleic acid, and contain significant protein, Vitamin E, and B vitamins. They are among the most calorie-dense whole foods produced by any native plant, which is why wildlife compete for them so intensively in the weeks before they ripen.

It can be coppiced for wildlife cover and increased nut production. American Hazelnut cut to the ground re-sprouts vigorously within a single season, producing dense multi-stemmed regrowth that provides superior nesting cover for ground-nesting birds. Coppicing on a 5 to 10 year rotation cycle also tends to increase nut production on the regrowth compared to older stems. This management technique was used by Indigenous peoples across its range for exactly this reason.

This stuff WORKS!
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush, Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
My legs hardly ever tan— I get a nice even tan on my arms and chest but can never get a nice tan on my legs— this stuff is magic. I used the brush to evenly coat my legs, sat out for about 20-30 minutes and by the next day my legs were darrrrkkk! The texture is smooth- goes on and is kinda oily but it does a great job at moisturizing too. The smell is pretty mild compared to other tanning solutions. I love this product and have recommended to all my friends whose legs don’t tan well. 😊 ♥️ ♥️

Great for Sun Allergy Rashes!
Scent: Unscented, Scent: Unscented
I have an autoimmune disease called Sjogren’s Disease. With that, for me, comes a sensitivity to the sun in the form of sun allergy rashes. Also with that, I did a deep dive on the best sunscreens and read a lot of reviews on here. I put some of the outer sides of elbows where my sun allergy rashes were when I received it. There was slight sting, but the skin there was already slightly broken. I really love the texture of it, how it feels on my skin and that there's no white cast. It’s moisturizing, too, with no greasiness. Absorbed really well.

The best mineral sunscreen
Scent: Unscented
I’m so impressed by this sunscreen! I’ve been using mineral sunscreens for years and this blows every other one I’ve tried out of the water. It is silky smooth and applies so easily, absorbs well and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. It doesn’t leave a white cast but it still protects very well! Of course like any sunscreen it’s only as effective as your usage, so reapplying is paramount. The unscented truly has no smell to it, which is something I appreciate. Using it for the first time, neither myself or my fair kiddos got sunburnt. It’s just all around a fantastic, clean mineral sunscreen and will be my go to from now on!
