plant sale text: American hazelnut is a suckering shrub that is a good landscape plant with lots of wildlife value. The suckers can be removed to limit its spread. One of the first plants to bloom (in early February, long before the leaves emerge), American hazelnut produces drooping catkins of male flowers and diminutive hot pink female flowers. At least two hazelnut shrubs are needed for nuts. Its small edible hazelnuts are fun to eat if you can get to them before the other critters do. Commonly found along stream banks. The Corylus genus supports up to 124 species of lepidoptera.
