Native nut. Wildlife magnet. The most productive edible shrub in the eastern forest.

Corylus americana, the American Hazelnut, is the native nut shrub that every food forester, wildlife manager, and habitat gardener should be growing. It produces clusters of small, sweet hazelnuts that ripen in late summer, establishing faster than any nut tree and beginning to fruit in as little as three to five years from seed. It tolerates shade, poor soils, wet sites, and dry hillsides with the same easy reliability and spreads naturally by root suckers to form dense, productive thickets that provide nesting cover and food for dozens of wildlife species. Squirrels, deer, turkeys, grouse, and over 20 bird species rely on American Hazelnut for food. If you are looking to buy American Hazelnut seeds or grow this native nut shrub from seed, nothing else produces edible nuts this quickly and this reliably in the eastern United States.

  • Begins producing edible hazelnuts within 3 to 5 years of planting, faster than any nut tree
  • Spreads by root suckers to form dense wildlife thickets providing cover and food
  • Tolerates shade, poor soils, wet sites, and dry slopes with exceptional adaptability
  • Native across the eastern United States and Great Lakes region, extremely cold-hardy to zone 4
  • Catkins provide one of the earliest pollen sources of spring for native bees emerging from winter dormancy

Things you probably did not know about the American Hazelnut

Indigenous peoples selected and managed hazelnut groves for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence from sites across the eastern United States shows hazelnut shells in abundance, indicating that hazelnuts were a major caloric food source in pre-contact North America. Many Native American communities actively managed hazelnut thickets by burning them on rotation to encourage vigorous new growth and higher nut production. The hazelnuts were eaten fresh, dried for winter storage, and ground into a flour used in soups and porridges.

The catkins open before any leaves emerge and before most insects are active. American Hazelnut is wind-pollinated, releasing pollen from its dangling catkins in late winter and early spring when temperatures barely rise above freezing. The tiny, bright red female flowers that receive the pollen are almost invisible to the naked eye. The entire pollination event happens in a few weeks before most gardeners notice anything is happening.

A single hazelnut provides more energy per gram than a handful of blueberries. Hazelnuts are roughly 60 percent fat, primarily heart-healthy oleic acid, and contain significant protein, Vitamin E, and B vitamins. They are among the most calorie-dense whole foods produced by any native plant, which is why wildlife compete for them so intensively in the weeks before they ripen.

It can be coppiced for wildlife cover and increased nut production. American Hazelnut cut to the ground re-sprouts vigorously within a single season, producing dense multi-stemmed regrowth that provides superior nesting cover for ground-nesting birds. Coppicing on a 5 to 10 year rotation cycle also tends to increase nut production on the regrowth compared to older stems. This management technique was used by Indigenous peoples across its range for exactly this reason.

Great for dry skin
Looovvveee this stuff. At first it feels a little sticky but once your skin absorbs it, it feels so hydrated. I was worried about using this because i have dry and sensitive skin but if anything it made my skin calm down. I haven’t broken out and i’ve been using it for a while, makes my skin so glowy too.

Best cleanser I've ever used.
This is easily and by far the best cleanser I've ever used. I have sensitive, oily, dehydrated and aging skin. I wear mineral sunscreen, primer, and bb cream cream daily AND I smoke, so there's a lot for a cleanser to fully remove. This does, cotton ball with toner tells me so. This cleanser is unscented, foams beautifully, and takes everything off including mascara without a pre-cleanse ( makeup remover oils or balms break me out, every time). It is gentle and doesn't strip my skin. It leaves my face actually clean and comfortable. My serums sink in quickly after use, and my skin is noticeably less greasy during the day because it's balanced. Considering that this cleanser is also affordable and a little goes a long way, I'd say it's close to perfect. Love it.

Gentle, hydrating, and perfect for sensitive skin
I’ve been impressed with this cleanser. It creates a soft, rich foam that feels great on the skin, not stripping at all. What I love most is how gentle it is. I used it consistently after a laser treatment, when my skin was especially sensitive, and it never caused any stinging, tightness, or dryness. It left my skin feeling clean, calm, and hydrated every time. The ingredient list is solid, featuring hyaluronic acid, squalane, and ceramides, which suggests it helps maintain my skin barrier rather than breaking it down, unlike some other foaming cleansers. It’s also pH-balanced, which I think makes a big difference if you’re using active treatments or have easily irritated skin. I’ve tried many cleansers over the years, and this is one I can see myself coming back to. Definitely planning to repurchase once I finish the bottle. A great daily cleanser for those seeking a soothing yet effective product.

Love it 🥰 Highly recommend
I got this because I had the scented one and its fragrance was too strong for me but I like the cleanser but this one is scent free and I love it. I do the double cleansing with the oil first then this product and the really help keep my skin feel protected and soft. So gas as the foaming I use less than a dime maybe a quarter the size of a dime and get great foaming. Definitely add the soup first then some water to get the foaminess. Since I started using this cleanser I feel the effects are not hearsay or stripping. Pros: Scent free, requires small amount for a good cleansing and leave you feeling soft yet cleaned and ready for your next step like toner or witch hazel. Cons: None for now. I really like this product and recommend to anyone who needs a good scent free cleanser
