Scientific Name:
Corylus maxima

Family:
Giant Filbert

Family:
Betulaceae

Description:
Giant Filbert is perhaps best utilized in more open spaces, rather than at spacious foundations, as its multistemmed growth habit places it in the extremely tall shrub category. The most common cultivar 'Purpurea', a purple-foliaged form, is also best sited as a specimen focal point in the landscape.
