Description
Corylus avellana ‘Red Majestic’ is a small, ornamental Hazel tree with deeply ribbed purple foliage. Leaves begin purple-red in spring, turning green with a purple flush in summer before changing to bronzed-purple and green in the autumn. The contorted branches look visually stunning in the winter and make a great architectural feature. Not only is the shape aesthetically pleasing, but in winter purple-red catkins emerge on bare branches and are followed by red nuts which are popular with wildlife.
