Growth history & use:
Turkish Hazel is a tree-shaped hazel with a thick trunk and pyramid-shaped crown. It originates from Southeastern Europe and Southwestern Asia - the tree grows wild in the region from the Balkans, to northern Turkey, to northern Iran.
It is a fast-growing tree that is hardy in exposed environments, such as urban areas. The Turk Hazel grows about 20-30 meters tall and often has a straight, continuous trunk with more or less horizontal branches.
Turkish Hazel produces edible hazelnuts that sit inside fuzzy balls. The nuts are smaller than those of the more common hazel - Corylus avellana - but they have a thicker shell, which makes the Turk Hazel nut more resistant to hungry pests of various kinds - for example nut weevils, birds & squirrels - which otherwise are a big problem when growing common hazel, C. avellana.
Turkish Hazel can live for over 200 years.
Cultivation:
Turkish Hazel is a fast-growing tree that is hardy against drought, wind, heat, and cold once established. The optimal environment is a place with full sun and moist, well-drained soil. However, it also grows well in heavy clay soils and sandy soils.
The tree withstands winter temperatures down to -25ºC.
Nuts ripen in October-November.
