- Nut Production: One of the most notable features of American hazelnut is its production of edible nuts. The nuts are small, round, and typically encased in a protective husk. They have a mild, nutty flavor and are enjoyed by both humans and wildlife, including squirrels, birds, and deer.
- Wildlife Value: American hazelnut is an important food source for various wildlife species. The nuts are high in fat and protein, making them a valuable winter food for many animals. The shrub also provides cover and nesting sites for birds and small mammals.
- Distinctive Catkins: In early spring, American hazelnut produces catkins, which are long, cylindrical flower clusters. These catkins are either male or female; the male catkins release pollen, while the female catkins develop into the nuts. The catkins add visual interest to the shrub in early spring.
- Understory Shrub: American hazelnut is often found as an understory shrub in woodlands and forested areas. It tolerates shade and can thrive in a variety of soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clayey soils. This adaptability makes it a valuable component of woodland ecosystems.
- Landscaping and Conservation: American hazelnut is not only valued for its wildlife benefits but also for its potential in landscaping and conservation efforts. It can be used in naturalistic landscapes, wildlife plantings, and erosion control projects, contributing to local biodiversity and ecological restoration.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
