American Hazelnut – Corylus americana 8 Seeds | Hardy Native Filbert | Edible Nut Shrub Cold Hardy | Wildlife Friendly | Fast Growing Nut Producer

Grow your own delicious, nutrient-rich nuts with these 8 American Hazelnut (Corylus americana) seeds. Also known as Filbert, this hardy native shrub produces flavorful edible nuts and thrives across much of North America.

In early spring, long yellow-brown catkins appear before the leaves, followed by subtle red female flowers. By mid to late summer, shrubs produce ½-inch brown nuts enclosed in leafy husks. The nuts are excellent for roasting, baking, nut butter, flour, or fresh eating—and they store well when shelled and frozen.

American Hazelnut grows 8–16 feet tall and spreads naturally, making it ideal for edible hedges, windbreaks, wildlife habitats, and backyard orchards. It provides valuable food and shelter for birds and small mammals.

For best nut production, plant at least two shrubs for cross-pollination.
