Corylus ‘Avellana Annys Purple Dream’ Description

Corylus ‘Avellana Annys Purple Dream’ refers to Corylus avellana ‘Anny’s Purple Dream’, a compact deciduous hazel reaching approximately 3 metres. The slightly glossy leaves emerge very dark purple in spring and soften to purple-green during summer before turning dark yellow in autumn. Pale mauve catkins may hang from the bare branches in late winter or spring and can be followed by edible hazelnuts where pollination is successful. Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It is hardy and suitable for Irish gardens, although a second compatible hazel nearby may improve nut production. Remove unwanted suckers and prune during winter only where size control is required.
