'Purple Filbert' Hazel Tree

Small but mighty nut tree

The Highlights

    • A purple-leaved relative of our native Hazel with much larger nuts and leaves on a compact plant
    • Filberts are delicious eaten fresh or roasted - these ones have a wine-purple tint!
    • A very attractive, small multi stemmed tree which grows to 3 x 3m
    • Ideal fpr smaller gardens or as hedging
    • Develops long yellow catkins in late winter
    • Cultivated in Southern Europe for 1000s of years
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
