Corylus

Corylus (hazel) catches the eye most during winter. Its branch structure is then clearly visible and the vertically hanging catkins provide colour and a nice transparency.

In summer, it has large, rather rounded leaves which make for a dense crown. By early autumn, the nuts are ripe. Only later in autumn does it turn yellow-brown before dropping its leaves.

WHEN THE CORYLUS’ CATKINS APPEAR IN WINTER, YOU SENSE THAT SPRING IS ON ITS WAY AGAIN.
The long vertical catkins of Corylus avellana bring colour to winter.
