One of my favorite shrubs is the Contorted filbert (Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’), zone
4. It looks like it just stepped off the set of a Harry Potter film. Available in both a green
leaf and red leaf variety, it is stunning as a focal point in the garden (growing to 10 feet
at maturity) but also looks great in a container. I love the funky, architectural form during
the winter when it is leafless. Yellow catkins dangle from its stems in winter months,
again adding interest. With fresh stock arriving in March, they can be purchased in sizes
as small as 2 gallon pots.
