Corylus avellana 'Red Majestic'
Corylus avellana 'Red Majestic' is a very original ornamental shrub, appreciated for its spectacular contorted habit and deep purple foliage. A decorative selection of the common hazel, it stands out for its strongly twisted branches, particularly remarkable in winter when the bare structure is highlighted. In spring, its young purple-red leaves and pendulous catkins add significant visual interest, before gradually turning greenish-purple in summer. Its spreading and sculptural shrubby habit makes it an excellent choice as a solitary specimen, in a decorative bed, or in a four-season garden. Hardy and well-adapted to Quebec conditions, Corylus avellana 'Red Majestic' combines structure, color, and artistic character with relatively simple cultivation in well-drained soil.
