Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

The brilliant golden foliage of Corylus avellana ‘Aurea’ heralds the spring before maturing to yellow-green in summer. This slow-growing, spreading shrub bears creamy yellow catkins on bare branches in late winter which mature to deep yellow, attracting pollinators to their early source of nectar. The catkins are followed by the richly coloured foliage which creates a spring spectacle, especially when viewed against a dark backdrop. Corylus avellana Aurea makes a handsome addition to a large border or as a stand-alone specimen. Plants may produce nuts if a suitable pollinator is nearby. Height: 6m (19.6ft) Spread: 4m (13ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Prior to planting Hazelnut trees, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant Cobnut trees at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and water well to settle the soil.

Nut trees do not suffer weed competition well, so keep weeds and grass clear from the of base of the hedge. Water young plants during particularly dry periods until fully established. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the hedge. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
