Description of the plant:
Hazel is a well-known shrub of European woodlands which is popular mainly for its nuts.It is a suckering, thicket-forming shrub with numerous upright stems. As it is a dense and large shrub it is used as a screening plant. It will also make a wild hedge which should be controlled if required compact. This plant can grow 4x4m.
In winter and early spring it bears plentiful of pendent, yellow, male catkins. Leaves are broadly heart-shaped, mid green, deciduous. It can be pruned almost anytime, it takes hard pruning, too.

It will grow almost anywhere but will crop best in fertile, well-drained, chalky soil. Fully hardy to -34°C (USDA zone 4), some sources say it can withstand -40°C.
