Native Hazelnut Fast-Producing Shrub + Valuable Nut Crop for Wildlife Not available for Fall 2026 orders We won't have this tree available for fall orders this year, but it will be back in stock for spring orders, which open around October. Use the "Notify me when available" button above to get an alert the moment it's back in stock! American Hazelnut is one of the fastest-producing nut plants available. Unlike oaks that take decades, Hazelnuts begin producing in as little as 3–5 years. The sweet, protein-rich nuts are relished by deer, squirrels, turkey, and many other wildlife species. In addition to nut production, Hazelnuts provide excellent browse for deer in summer and create dense cover for small game and birds. Their multi-stem growth habit makes them ideal for planting along edges, in thickets, or as understory beneath larger mast trees. Hazelnuts are highly adaptable, growing well in a variety of soils and tolerating partial shade. They’re an excellent way to add diversity and multi-layered habitat to your property. You must protect your trees with one of our Tree Tubes to be covered under our Survival Guarantee. Please read the full details here.
