In our forests, forest edges, thickets, and hedgerows, one of the most striking shrubs is the hazel, *Corylus avellana*. The shrub stands out even in winter because of its flowering catkins. It is the first species of our wild flora to begin blooming each year.Sometimes the hazel blooms even before the New Year. The oval leaves, which taper to a pointed tip and have serrated edges, do not appear on the shrub until after flowering. Hazelnuts are not only eaten by humans but also serve as an important winter food source for many animals. This native species is well-suited for use as an attractive hedge.
