American Hazelnut Shrub for Sale

The compact American Hazelnut is low-maintenance and produces branches bursting with delicious nuts every year. A perfect shrub if you have limited space, it will reach a height of between 8 and 12 feet with a spread of up to 8 feet at full maturity.

This hardy shrub is quite at home in zones 4 through 9 and as well as providing you with a hearty crop of healthful nuts, it makes a great shrub to plant in rows to produce a living privacy fence or property boundary. The shrubs make a great nest territory for all your favorite birds.

The drought-tolerant hazelnut puts forth sturdy branches with dark green leaves that produce vibrant fall foliage that will add golden, red and orange color to your garden throughout the autumn season. The catkins produced by the male flowers provide a great winter food source for wild animals.

It's Easy to Plant your American Hazelnut Tree
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your American Hazelnut Tree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your American Hazelnut Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your American Hazelnut Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
