Corylus Red Majestic 12 Litre Pot 80/100cm Tall

Corylus avellana ‘Red Majestic’ – Twisted Elegance with Rich Purple Foliage (12 Litre, 80/100cm Tall)

Corylus avellana ‘Red Majestic’ is a striking, ornamental hazel that combines the dramatic, contorted form of the classic Contorted Hazel with the added appeal of rich burgundy-purple foliage. This deciduous shrub stands out across all seasons—its twisted branches form a sculptural silhouette in winter, while spring brings dangling yellow catkins, offering early-season pollen for pollinators. As the season progresses, deeply crinkled, dark red leaves emerge, providing bold contrast and texture in the garden.
