Purple Hazel Rote Zellernus Multistem (Corylus avellana)

These are good solid examples of the Purple Hazel variety Rote Zellernus (Corylus avellana 'Rote Zellernus') and are good all rounder trees for planting schemes with their purple leaf colour adding a striking addition to any garden.  These all are multistem bushes with multiple breaks from ground level.

The size of these trees is measured by height from ground level to the top of the tree and the height excludes the roots.  If in doubt about what this means, please do call the nursery and we will be happy to advise you.

These trees all come rootballed, which is to say that they are dug from our fields with a ball of soil around the roots which is then wrapped up in hessian.   Please be advised that this can make them very heavy to handle, so please do telephone us to discuss this if you think it might be an issue for you.  When you receive the tree, you should plant it with the hessian still around the roots as it will quickly rot away and new root growth will easily push through the hessian.

The rootballed option is only available during the colder months of the year when they are dormant (usually between November and March, weather depending). 

Careful preparation of your planting site is important and we recommend mixing your soil with compost and/or farmyard manure to give your trees the best start.

We also stock a range of other specimen trees suitable for garden planting. These can be viewed on our trees page.
