Twisted hazel is grown for its attractive outline and cheerful yellow catkins in late winter. Broad, sharply toothed mid-green leaves appear in mid-spring but it is for the contorted shape of its curiously twisted shoots that it is mainly grown for. Perfect for wild gardens or people looking for something very striking and different. The lovely pendant and pale yellow catkins that appear on bare branches in late winter are a pleasure to behold. Fully hardy, they prefer sun or semi-shade and fertile, well-drained soil. Corkscrew Hazel’s native species was discovered in a hedgerow in Gloucester in about 1863. They can be grown in small gardens and containers.

Height & Spread in Maturity: Up to 3m x 2m / 10ft x 7ft.
