Turkish hazel stands as a majestic deciduous entity, often reaching up to 50 feet (15 meters) in cultivated landscapes but stretches even taller in the wild, with potential heights of around 80 feet (24 meters). Its robust stance reveals a sturdy, cylindrical trunk cloaked in gray bark, contributing to its impressive stature. The foliage exhibits a lush, green temperament, donning broad leaves that are characteristically heart-shaped, with pointed tips and doubly serrated edges, contributing to its lush canopy. Hanging among these leaves, one may find clusters of pale catkins in the spring, a prelude to the development of its distinctive, roundish fruits encased in a husky involucre, which eventually mature to an edible delight. The harmony of these features makes turkish hazel a noteworthy presence in any arboreal landscape.
