Everything about Hazel
Genus of trees
Hazels are plants of the genus Corylus of deciduous trees and large shrubs native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. The genus is usually placed in the birch family, Betulaceae, though some botanists split the hazels into a separate family Corylaceae. The fruit of the hazel is the hazelnut; the trees are also grown as ornaments in hedges or gardens. Wikipedia →
