Turkish Hazel: Corylus colurna
As you leave College Street turn left along Station Road until you come upon three Turkish Hazels (Corylus colurna) just over the junction with Winton Road. Their original range is Asia Minor and south-east Europe and ever since Tudor times it has been cultivated in the UK. The leaves and petiole are slightly larger than the native Common Hazel-nut species (C. avellana) and are covered in hairs. The nuts are clustered and deeply lobed and are a little larger than our native species. They are half enclosed in a ragged edged calyx about 1 cm across. The Turkish Hazel is the only species from the family Corylaceae that produces a tree-stature with rough bark on its stout trunk. The others produce a shrubby plant growth in character and are frequently seen in hedgerows.
