Corylus avellana 'Red Dragon'

Common Name: Red Dragon European Filbert

From Shawn Mehlenbacher's work here at OSU comes a prized, blight-resistant, contorted, red-leaf hazelnut. With moderately contorted growth, it has an arching grace. Its purple color is intense in spring and early summer, and still dark later in the year. These are expensive but worth it; they will attract a lot of attention at garden centers.
