CORYLUS AVE CONTORTA
Grower Notes:
Corylus avellana 'Contorta' is also known by common names: Harry Lauder's Walking Stick, Contorted Filbert or Corkscrew Hazel. It is a large, deciduous, rounded, multi-trunked shrub that typically grows to 8-10 feet and is noteworthy for its fascinating twisted and beautifully contorted branches, twigs and leaves. Its contorted growth habit looks best in winter landscapes with its twisted branches and catkins in late winter.
The Harry Lauder's Walking Stick is used in naturalized areas, group plantings, borders and woodland margins. It enjoys full to part sun in moist, rich, well-drained soils. It does not tolerate clay soils.
