| | | Trees for Heavy Soils: Common Hazel (Corylus avellana) Hazel is a tremendous wildlife resource; its yellow catkins ("Lamb's tails") are an invaluable source of early pollen for bees, and its nuts, an iron age human staple, are a boon for insects and small mammals. Not only is it an important hedging constituent because of its speed of growth and habit, but it is widely used for all manner of traditional coppice products in areas with heavier soils.
Hazel has been an important economic cinstituent of managed woodland since the Middle Ages. Planted as a short lived understorey and regularly coppiced, it produced not only straight but incredibly pliable rods. From Neolithic times these were used for making wattle for hurdles, fencing, and wattle and daub walls, and hedge layers always find them helpful for making stakes and binders. For the Celts it was the tree of knowledge, and their druids carried Hazel rods. The Grey Squirrel's liking for Hazel nuts means that Hazel woods are sadly no longer self regenerative. If you fancy the nuts yourself, have a look at our Filberts and Cobs.
Provenance certificates are available on request for Hazel plants, which are from the Southwest of England.
