Native nut. Wildlife magnet. The most productive edible shrub in the eastern forest.

Corylus americana, the American Hazelnut, is the native nut shrub that every food forester, wildlife manager, and habitat gardener should be growing. It produces clusters of small, sweet hazelnuts that ripen in late summer, establishing faster than any nut tree and beginning to fruit in as little as three to five years from seed. It tolerates shade, poor soils, wet sites, and dry hillsides with the same easy reliability and spreads naturally by root suckers to form dense, productive thickets that provide nesting cover and food for dozens of wildlife species. Squirrels, deer, turkeys, grouse, and over 20 bird species rely on American Hazelnut for food. If you are looking to buy American Hazelnut seeds or grow this native nut shrub from seed, nothing else produces edible nuts this quickly and this reliably in the eastern United States.

  • Begins producing edible hazelnuts within 3 to 5 years of planting, faster than any nut tree
  • Spreads by root suckers to form dense wildlife thickets providing cover and food
  • Tolerates shade, poor soils, wet sites, and dry slopes with exceptional adaptability
  • Native across the eastern United States and Great Lakes region, extremely cold-hardy to zone 4
  • Catkins provide one of the earliest pollen sources of spring for native bees emerging from winter dormancy

Things you probably did not know about the American Hazelnut

Indigenous peoples selected and managed hazelnut groves for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence from sites across the eastern United States shows hazelnut shells in abundance, indicating that hazelnuts were a major caloric food source in pre-contact North America. Many Native American communities actively managed hazelnut thickets by burning them on rotation to encourage vigorous new growth and higher nut production. The hazelnuts were eaten fresh, dried for winter storage, and ground into a flour used in soups and porridges.

The catkins open before any leaves emerge and before most insects are active. American Hazelnut is wind-pollinated, releasing pollen from its dangling catkins in late winter and early spring when temperatures barely rise above freezing. The tiny, bright red female flowers that receive the pollen are almost invisible to the naked eye. The entire pollination event happens in a few weeks before most gardeners notice anything is happening.

A single hazelnut provides more energy per gram than a handful of blueberries. Hazelnuts are roughly 60 percent fat, primarily heart-healthy oleic acid, and contain significant protein, Vitamin E, and B vitamins. They are among the most calorie-dense whole foods produced by any native plant, which is why wildlife compete for them so intensively in the weeks before they ripen.

It can be coppiced for wildlife cover and increased nut production. American Hazelnut cut to the ground re-sprouts vigorously within a single season, producing dense multi-stemmed regrowth that provides superior nesting cover for ground-nesting birds. Coppicing on a 5 to 10 year rotation cycle also tends to increase nut production on the regrowth compared to older stems. This management technique was used by Indigenous peoples across its range for exactly this reason.

Beware if your dog likes to chew
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
It’s super cute and my dog loved it, but it didn’t last very long. My dog started peeling off pieces of it and eating it within three hours of play. If you have a dog that takes it easy on the toys I would recommend this one. Otherwise I recommend passing because there’s no way it’s safe for them to be swallowing these pieces.

Lasted pretty long for my aggressive chewer
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Right away I was excited with this product because of the smell, texture and thickness. Smells minty fresh which does help with breath smell. The texture is great, had smooth areas and rigid areas all while being soft and durable. The product is pretty thick, which I needed for my Pit-Bull. She doesn’t chew much but, when she decides to she is 110% in and dedicated to destroying that item. She chews through most things in less than a day. This product however lasted years before I started to notice damage. It is one of her favorite toys. She liked it so much I bought two, one for the house and one for the car for road trips. It’s the perfect toy to keep a chewer distracted inside a car, along side a deer antler, which also helps with dental hygiene. She gets dental hygiene compliments every trip to the Vet. We use multiple different things to help with her teeth and breathe but, I think this toy contributes the most to her healthy teeth. I call it a toy because she plays with it all the time. Definitely will keep buying long as they keep making it. This product is a must for all dogs, it’s almost perfect for my Pit-Bull

Currently surviving a SUPER CHEWER!
Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
Welcomed a pomeranian/terrier mix to the family recently. Although he is small he is very capable of tearing things apart! He has destroyed many, many types and brands of toys. When he grew tired of destroying those he turned to objects in my house, walls, furniture, railing etc! I've tried different brands and textures and this is one of only 2 brands he hasn't outright destroyed! He's had this toy for almost a month now and it has come out of this time almost completely unscathed! You'll notice there's a little damage to one of the hands and top of the head but hes managed to destroy toys in an hour or less, so I consider this a big win and will absolutely replace with the same product when the time comes! There's a hole, I think for treats. I haven't used that. It also has a smell, almost like baby powder. In any event, absolutely worth the price which I found to be great to begin with. My dog loves it, and me and my house are soo glad he's chewing on this! If you have a super chewer (I'd never heard of that) I strongly suggest this toy. They also have larger ones for bigger breeds!

Durable Chew Toy That Actually Holds Up to Strong Jaws
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
This Hammer for Pets Super Treadz Gorilla Dental Chew Toy has been a reliable option for a heavy chewer, especially for a large breed with a strong bite. The material feels tough and well-made, and it stands up well to consistent chewing without immediately breaking down like softer toys tend to do. It also gives a bit of dental benefit by helping reduce plaque and tartar buildup during play, which is a nice bonus since brushing isn’t always realistic. The textured surface keeps it interesting enough to hold attention for a while, and it doesn’t splinter or create a mess. Overall, it’s a solid, durable chew toy that works well for strong chewers who tend to destroy most standard toys quickly.

Great teeth cleaning toy
Style: Gator, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
I bought this for my pit bull. He is 75-80lbs. They didn't have an option for his weight, so I got the alligator for up to 35lbs. He has already chewed the alligator's face off. Now it is just an analgator. lol I do monitor him the whole time since he is over the weight limit of this chew toy. The body of the alligator has proven to be better suited for my pit bull's chewing than the face part. I bought an Arm & Hammer yellow bone chew toy for teeth cleaning a while back. It was the BEST THING EVER for my pit bull to chew on. He destroys every toy in a matter of minutes. That yellow bone lasted forever and he chewed on it daily and consistently throughout the day. I haven't been able to find another one like it, so I decided to get this alligator despite it not being for his size. It still seems durable and I think would last longer with a dog under 35lbs. I give it 5 stars bc it is a well-liked chew toy in my house with the dogs I have that like to chew. It seems well-made and great for cleaning teeth.
