Corylus colurna, known as Turkish Filbert or Turkish Hazelnut, is a charming deciduous tree that thrives across a range of environments, from southeastern Europe to western Asia. Perfectly suited for both urban and residential landscapes, this species can grow between 40-50 feet, with some reaching up to 80 feet tall. It forms a striking pyramidal silhouette with a short trunk and dense horizontal branches. The leaves—vibrant green, broad, and ovate—add a touch of freshness to any setting and transition to subtle yellow hues in the fall. The tree's bark presents an intriguing corky texture, peeling to unveil orange-brown tones. Spring ushers in eye-catching monoecious catkins, with the male flowers collectively uplifting the March landscape. While the nuts are edible, they’re often left for the wildlife to enjoy. Requiring well-drained, organically rich soil, Turkish Hazelnut adapts well to sunlight and shade and stands resilient against drought and urban conditions. Ideal as a shade or street tree, it's a captivating specimen for any lawn or naturalized area.
