Harry Lauder's Walking Stick
Harry Lauder's Walking Stick (Corylus avellana 'Contorta') is a truly unique and captivating shrub that adds a whimsical touch to any garden or landscape. Its most distinctive feature is its contorted branches, which twist and turn in fascinating and irregular patterns, creating an enchanting and sculptural display, especially during the dormant season. The contorted branches are accentuated by the tree's dense canopy of rounded, dark green leaves that provide a beautiful backdrop for its intricate form. In late winter to early spring, Harry Lauder's Walking Stick produces small, inconspicuous flowers that give way to clusters of charming and edible hazelnuts in the fall. This shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and is relatively low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Whether used as a focal point, a unique specimen plant, or as part of a mixed shrub border, Harry Lauder's Walking Stick is sure to add character and visual interest to your outdoor space.
