Beaked hazelnut is a deciduous shrub characterized by its ability to spread into dense thickets via root suckers. It exhibits leaves that are roundish with a heart-shaped base and double-serrated edges, typically between 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to 12.7 cm) long. The distinctive feature of this shrub is its fruit: a nut encased in a hard shell and enveloped by a husk with a long, tubular beak. The nuts mature from green to brown and are usually harvested in the fall.
