Corylus 'Merveille De Bollwiller'

An old French variety aptly named ?Hall?s Giant? due to the large cobnuts it bears, rather than its overall size. Corylus ?Merveille De Bollwiller? is a handy compact tree that only grows to around 3m tall and produces bumper crops of medium to large, shiny brown nuts that can be harvested in October. Enjoy their superb flavour eaten freshly picked or store for later use. In late winter, eye-catching yellow catkins dangle from bare branches, providing interest when there is little colour in the garden as well as being a vital source of early nectar for pollinating insects. Corylus ?Merveille De Bollwiller? is a good pollinator for other varieties and is partially self-fertile, producing its largest yields when it has at least one different pollination partner, such as wild hazel.Height and spread: 3m (10ft).
