 74/ American hazelnut, Corylus americana 

The nursery didn’t have the cultivar (Winkler) I wanted until late May so these got planted late (mid-June, after hardening-off from shipping). They didn’t grow much but already have large leaf buds for next year. They’re rooted cuttings but are likely too small to flower next year. Only watered to establish and gave some seedling fert.  Currently sheltered and planted small native plant seeds around it so can’t report on wind-tolerance.
