Walking Stick Bonsai Tree
(corylus avellana 'contorta')

The Filbert or Hazelnut is generally grown for its tasty nuts, but not this one. 'Contorta", better known as the Walking Stick, has beautifully twisted and contorted weeping branches that are particularly striking when dusted with snow. In late winter, 2-3" long, yellowish brown catkins appear, dangling like ornaments from the wiry skeleton. In spring and summer and early autumn, it has large crinkly leaves so dense it hides the exaggerated corkscrew appearance of the limbs. Decideous. Keep outdoors.
