Characteristics :

• Description:

Here it is at last: the twisted hazel with purple foliage! This novelty combines the charm of the twisted hazel with the qualities of the foliage of the purple hazel.
'Red Majestic' has a good vegetation with similar characteristics as those of the Corylus avellana 'Contorta'; its height is about 2,00 m when fully grown.
The very purple colour of the foliage during the budding stage and the early spring diminishes during the summer to a greener shade depending on the position.
The flowers as catkins and the envelope of the fruit are also purple.

• Uses

Being very ornemental throughout the year, 'Red Majestic' can very well be planted in bushy clumps or as hedges.
Sunny to half shaded position.
It doesn't need any trimming
