Description
Hazel Tree 40cm 15 Pack: The hazel tree is a good choice for urban gardens as it is small, colourful and resistant to air pollution with smooth grey-brown bark and hairy double tooth leaves that turn golden in autumn. Its flowers are monoecious although to pollinate the pollen must come from another hazel tree, the male catkins are long and yellow and appear before the leaves from mid-February. Once pollinated by wind the female flowers which are tiny & bud-like develop into ovals of fruit that hang in groups. They mature into the commonly known hazelnut and if the wildlife doesn’t get them first are a firm favourite for making delicious nutty chocolate spread. Please Note: This tree will be 20-40cm in height and depending on the time of year they could arrive bare or with browning leaves. Do not be alarmed, this is expected and normal, the tree will perk back up once the weather is warmer. As long as provided with the right care and attention, this sapling can be planted all year round.
