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.

Best Book About Comic Book Guy EVER
Format: Hardcover
You love the Simpsons! You love Comic Book Guy! And, well, to gain the best possible enjoyment of this book, you also love, or at least have a passing knowledge of, movies, science-fiction, pro wrestling (Rob Van Dam in ECW makes a cameo!), comics, video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and just general geek culture. And if you do, you'll LOVE this book. Sure, it seems to be the same gags just updated every few pages... but what are you expecting, Pride and Prejudice? It's an illustrated book, it has Simpsons-esque humor, and it's an enjoyable read. Highly recommended.
