Here the edible hazel nuts are just beginning to form, they will develop by September. Hazel is a large shrub with smooth brown stems found at the edges of woods and hedges. The young shoots and leaves are hairy. The male catkins are long and droopy; in early spring they become yellow with pollen, before the leaves develop. The female flowers are small, often hidden, with red bracts. The edible nut is surrounded by a leafy green cup. Picture taken 28th June 2006- near Bedford.
