Also called the American Filbert, this small hedge bush is native to the eastern U.S. Two plants are needed to set fruit. They can grow to 8'. Nuts ripen in August. Grows in zones 5 - 8.
This shrub grows quite happily in Zone 3a/b and is often found growing wild in river flood plains. Can be increased from suckers. Somewhat slow to establish in cultivation but eventually makes a large nicely shaped bush. Blue Jays compete with squirrels for the nuts, quite entertaining.

Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prompt removal of root suckers will help maintain plant appearance, and, if desired, help prevent thicket formation.
