An uncommon selection with rich-purple leaves, Corylus maxima 'Red Zellernus' is festooned with long, pretty, pink catkins, followed by purple, edible nuts later in the year.

  • Flowering Period: January to March (Catkins).
  • Flower Colour: Dusky pink
  • Rate of Growth: Moderate.
  • Habit: Corylus maxima 'Red Zellernus' grows to be a large, branching shrub which can be coppiced if required.
