Corylus avellana contorta 'Medusa' - Special Corkscrew Hazel circa 100cm

Product ref: DEAL80036

Availability: In stock

Check out Medusa - the crazy Contorted Hazel - This very easy to grow hardy shrub has intriguing twisted corkscrew stems resembling a nest of rising snakes - hence the name Medusa!

Corylus avellana contorta "Medusa" is a fantastic and unusual looking shrub that carries charming golden-yellow catkins on contorted stems, and it is these that form the main attraction of this deciduous woody plant. The entwined and twisted trunks provide an lovely architectural feature where ever this is planted.

Known as the corkscrew hazel, it is ideal for planting towards the middle of a sunny garden border or in a large container. The twisted stems, much-valued by flower-arrangers, provide a curious and unusual focal point.

This plant is really something to get people talking! Fresh green foliage through out the year, turning golden yellow in autumn before it falls. The bare twisted stems look particularly stunning in winter when covered in ice and frost. Something both architectural and unusual. Medusa is a new form with particularly contorted stems and more compact growth than some varieties, which lends itself well to all gardens.

Supplied in approx. 5 litre containers.

Corylus avellana contorta 'Medusa' - Special Corkscrew Hazel

Delivered within four days of placing order, packed carefully and arrived in perfect condition. Early November so 100 cm tall, showing plenty of buds that I'm hoping will yield catkins (if they're leaves, it needs to slow down).

Happy

This, if a little smaller than I had expected, is a lovely little plant, full of buds, which arrived very cheerful despite the fact that the couriers made a mess of the delivery and it was 2 days longer on the road than it should have been. When it eventually grows enough to make the focal point I want it to be it'll be beautiful.
