The Turkish hazel, or hazelnut, is a hardy, slow-growing tree prized for its durability and elegant structure. With a pyramidal shape and dense branches, it maintains a symmetrical crown. Its dark green, textured foliage is highly resistant to pests and disease, turning pale yellow-green to purplish in the fall before lingering late into the season. In early spring, showy catkins appear, while the tree’s distinctive beaked nuts develop in summer, offering an edible, though well-protected, treat. Highly adaptable, it thrives in urban conditions, tolerating heat, cold, drought, and a variety of soil types.
