A large, spreading shrub or small tree, with rounded leaves that turn yellow in autumn.
Yellow male catkins appear in early spring, which are then followed by edible nuts in the autumn.

Growing Conditions:
Prefers heavier fertile soils. Will tolerate some shade. Ideal for hillsides and steep banks.

Value To Wildlife:
Associated with a rich ground flora. Very good for insects. Nuts eaten by a variety of animals.

Important Note:
This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.

It is best to plant your trees within a week or two weeks of arrival.
Remember, when your trees arrive we advise to keep them upright, well-watered and away from strong sunlight and high winds.
