Corylus avellana 'Contorta'
Corylus 'Contorta' is a distinctive deciduous shrub, famed for its twisted, corkscrew-like branches. In late winter and early spring, it produces long, yellow catkins that add charm before the foliage emerges. The crinkled green leaves turn vibrant yellow-orange in autumn, extending its seasonal appeal. Often used in floral arrangements for its ornamental stems, this RHS Award of Garden Merit variety makes a unique specimen in the garden and thrives in most well-drained soils.
