Catkins (+PiP)

nobody@ipernity.com (Keith Burton) — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 07:10:56 +0000

These are the catkins on the small Twistred Hazel Tree in my garden.

Thanks to Amelia I discovered that Hazel trees have both male and female flowers. The catkins are the male flowers which carry the pollen. On the same tree will also be female flowers, which are very tiny (just a few mm tall) and which are very easy to miss unless you know about them. I only knew because Hazel had told me and so I was able to find them..........you can see them in the PiP.

Anyway, the pollen blows out of the catkins and on to the female flowers which eventually will produce hazelnuts! Magic!

You can see Amelia's images and much better explanation here: www.ipernity.com/doc/1021409/51755318

Harry Lauder's Walking Stick

This is a great plant. Its twisted branches provided interest in winter and it flowers well before anything else does.

"Corylus avellana . . . is a deciduous, multi-trunked, thicket-forming, multi-stemmed, suckering shrub that typically grows to 12-20’ tall. It is native to Europe, western Asia and northern Africa where it is typically found growing in rich thickets, woodland borders, wooded slopes, hedgerows, clearings and along streams. Monoecious flowers (separate male and female flowers on the same plant) bloom on bare branches in late winter to early spring (March-April) before the leaves emerge. Somewhat showy, pale yellow-gray male flowers appear in sessile drooping catkins (each to 2-3” long). Inconspicuous female flowers with red stigmas bloom just above the male catkins....

‘Contorta’, commonly called contorted filbert, corkscrew hazel or Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick, is a contorted version of the species plant. It was discovered growing as a sport in an English hedgerow in the mid-1800s by Victorian gardener Canon Ellacombe. This plant was subsequently given the common name of Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick in the early 1900’s in honor of Scottish entertainer Harry Lauder (1870-1950). It is a deciduous, rounded, multi-trunked shrub which typically grows to 8-10’ tall, and features, as the cultivar name suggests, twisted and spiraling branches, twigs and leaves. Most plants sold in commerce are grafted. "
