In spring, hazel is laden with lovely 'lambs tail' catkins and in autumn it produces delicious nuts popular with people and wildlife. Why not plant one in your own garden? It can even be planted as part of a native hedgerow. It responds well to close pruning and will create a haven for wildlife. The nuts are eaten by woodpeckers, nuthatches, jays and native mammals such as red squirrel, wood mouse and bank vole. Plus caterpillars love the leaves!

Hazelnuts then ride up a conveyor and go in to bins where they’ll be shipped off for washing and processing  Via Oregon Hazelnuts | Farm Babe | Facebook
