Species range in size from small, multi-stemmed bushes (1 m) to large trees (up to 40 m). All members are deciduous, with simple, alternate leaves and monoecious wind pollinated flowers that undergo anthesis before leaves develop in the spring. 1 Subsection Corylus Corylus avellana: European hazelnut. Plants are multi-stemmed shrubs 3–10 m tall, with a growth habit ranging from very erect to drooping. Ornamental forms also exist that have weeping or contorted branches. Plants spread by suckers, but the rate and number of suckers produced from the base of the plant varies considerably.
For long-term germplasm preservation, a method to store hazelnut embryonic axes in liquid nitrogen was developed. Excised, dehydrated embryos of hazelnut seeds previously treated to a period of moist-chilling (stratification) survived freezing in liquid nitrogen to be thawed and grown successfully in tissue culture (Normah et al. 1994; Reed et al. 1994). Based on this work, embryonic axes of seeds from C. americana, C. colurna, C. heterophylla, and C. sieboldiana were cryo-preserved in liquid nitrogen and are stored at the National Seed Storage Laboratory in Fort Collins, Colorado (Reed and Hummer 2001).
Leaf margins are irregularly and doubly serrate. Nuts develop in clusters of 2–12, each in a fleshy, tube-like pubescent to glabrous involucre longer than the nut and tightly constricted after the nut with a forked or toothed apex. 5 cm in diameter with thick shells that are strongly attached to the involucre at maturity. The species is distributed across southern China in parts of the Shangxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces where it is found as scattered trees on moist, forested mountain slopes.
