Hazelnut

Corylus americana

"The Hazelnut Tree, `Corylus americana,' is native to Missouri, and will typically grow to a height of eight to sixteen feet. This is a rounded, deciduous plant that typically grows like a multi-stemmed shrub, but can be trained into a tree form. It can be found naturally in dry or moist thickets, woodlands, valleys, uplands and prairies. It produces showy, two to three inch, yellowish brown male catkins in the spring with small, reddish female flowers. Its fall color is variable, and typically ranges from wonderful combinations of orange, rose, purplish-red, yellow and green. This Hazelnut tree is often called the American filbert."
