How to use it
The common hazel is valuable for its ecological role, providing food and habitat for wildlife. Its nuts are a food source for various animals, while the shrub itself can be used for hedging and erosion control. Additionally, the wood from the common hazel is flexible and strong, making it suitable for crafting and tool-making.

Gardening tip
When planting common hazel, make sure to dig a hole that is about twice as wide as the root ball and plant it at the same depth it was growing in its pot. This will help the plant establish itself better in your garden.

In the kitchen
The nuts produced by the common hazel are delicious and can be eaten raw or roasted. They are often used in desserts, chocolates, and even savory dishes. However, the plant itself is not eaten by humans. Be sure to enjoy the nuts, but leave the plant to grow and thrive in your garden!
