hazelnut (Corylus spp.; BIRCH FAMILY [Betulaceae]) Deciduous shrubs with simple, doubly-toothed, deciduous leaves.  Staminate catkins start to develop in the fall, but shed their pollen the following spring.  Fruit is a nut surrounded by conspicuous leafy bracts.  Two species are common in Wisconsin: common hazelnut occurs on dry soils, and beaked hazelnut on moist but well-drained sites.  [029]
