Corylus avellana 'Contorta' ~ Contorted Filbert, Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick
Contorted Filbert is a multi-trunked deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and distinctive corkscrew branches. The small serrated green leaves are also twisted and turn an undistinguished yellow in fall. The showy pale yellow male flowers bloom on catkins in late winter into spring before the leaves come in. Grows best in rich, moist, well-drained soils. Contorted Filbert does not produce nuts and has good resistance to filbert blight.
