Hazel Hedging (Corylus Avellana)

Hazel Hedging (Corylus Avellana) exceptionally valuable for wildlife and habitat conservation. Hazel is also very much sought after when it comes to hedging as it is compact neat and easy to maintain and again wildlife friendly. The flowers are produced very early in spring before the leaves. The male catkins are pale yellow and long, and the female ones are very small. The Hazel nuts are also a prized source of food for wildlife, the hazel was bred for the nuts or 'cobs' and are another product that should not be overlooked. Hazel Hedging (Corylus Avellana) was crucially important in the past as a source of wood and had many uses. many of these uses relied upon the flexibility of the wood which could be twisted and even knotted. It also provides good foraging and cover for game. Traditionally hazel was coppiced on a short rotation (6-15 years) under a well spaced out crop of standard oaks. Treated this way stools (the roots) are known to live longer than 600 years. The traditional products of the hazel underwood are increasingly sought after today. Especially woven hurdles for ornamental or agricultural use, sticks, furniture, firewood, thatching spars, and water divining. Bare root stock available Oct-April or PRE ORDER NOW and reserve
