hazelnut tree

Filbert-bearing woody perennial

A hazelnut tree is a small deciduous tree or large shrub of the genus Corylus, cultivated for its edible nuts.

The trees produce catkins in early spring and rounded nuts enclosed in leafy husks.

The old hazelnut tree in the backyard finally started producing this year.

Also called hazel or filbert.
