About Corylus colurna ‘Granat’
Corylus colurna ‘Granat’ is a vigorous ornamental tree with a straight trunk and a well-shaped crown. The young leaves emerge in a striking reddish-purple hue and later turn dark green. Corylus ‘Granat’ is not reliably self-pollinating, so we recommend planting it alongside another hazel tree. The tree thrives best in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Corylus Granat is highly tolerant of drought and heat, making it ideal for avenues, parks, and gardens.
Nut Quality
Corylus colurna ‘Granat’ produces hazelnuts that grow in clusters. The nuts are smaller than those of the common hazel. They ripen in the fall and are surrounded by a striking, deeply indented husk. This makes them a particularly attractive addition to the tree’s ornamental value.
