Corylus avellana is widely grown as an ornamental shrub in temperate North America, and it sometimes persists following cultivation, although it seldom becomes established.

Corylus avellana is similar to C . americana in habit, leaves, and fruit characteristics, although it becomes much larger. If fruits are present, the two species can be distinguished by the involucre, which is shorter than the nut in C . avellana . The best technical character for separating these species in the absence of fruits is the length of the peduncles of the staminate catkins (which are formed during the summer prior to the season of blooming).

Description

provided by eFloras
Shrubs , broadly spreading, to 5(--8) m. Bark coppery brown, smooth, sometimes exfoliating in thin papery strips. Branches ascending; twigs pubescent, covered with bristly glandular hairs. Winter buds containing inflorescences ovoid, 5--6 × 3--4 mm, apex obtuse. Leaves: petiole pubescent, covered with bristly glandular hairs. Leaf blade broadly ovate to broadly elliptic, often nearly angled to lobulate near apex, 5--12 × 4--12 cm, moderately thin, base narrowly cordate to narrowly rounded, margins coarsely and doubly serrate, apex abruptly acuminate, abaxially sparsely to moderately pubescent, velutinous to tomentose along major veins and in vein axils. Inflorescences: staminate catkins lateral along branchlets on relatively long short shoots, usually in clusters of 2--4, 3--8 × 0.7--1 cm; peduncles mostly 5--12 mm. Nuts in clusters of 2--4; bracts much enlarged, distinct nearly to base, expanded, shorter than to only slightly longer than nuts, apex deeply lobed; bract surfaces pubescent. 2 n = 22, 28.

Haselaar ( Afrikaans )

provided by wikipedia AF

Die Haselaar (Corylus avellana) is 'n genaturaliseerde struik in wes-Europa.

Algemene kenmerke

Die haselaar is soos die Forsythia 'n "naakbloeier"; bloeisels verskyn voor blare en is afhanklik van windbestuiwing. Manlike en vroulike bloeiwyses sit apart. Manlike blommetjies is reeds in die somer aanwesig in die blaaroksels. Hulle begin net na midsomer oopgaan. Vroulike blommetjies sit drie tot vier in 'n klein knoppie bymekaar. Wanneer hule oopgaan is slegs die rooi style met stampers te sien. Die haselaar word tot 6 m hoog en kan tien jaar neem om vrugte te dra. Geënte struike word egter beskikbaar gestel wat reeds na drie jaar vrugte dra.

Ekonomiese aanwending

Daar is verskeie haselneutkultivars vir produksie van groot neute gekweek. Hierdie kultivars is geoptimaliseer vir neutproduksie en vir neute met min vliesbedekking en is voortgebring uit kruisteling van diverse Corylus-soorte. Die klein neutjies van die haselaar smaak egter beter.

Ekologiese belang

Haselneute word deur voëls versprei. Die sade ontkiem en kom op aan bosrande. Verder versprei die haselaar homself deur worteluitlopers. 'n Ondersoek deur Frans Vera het aangetoon dat die haselaar se verspreiding ooreenkom met 'n omgewing van groot weidiere se mis. Die haselaar gedy ook op 'n minder vrugbare bodem.

Etimologiese betekenis

Hasel kom van die Angelsakserse haes. Dit beteken 'beveel' aangesien die haselaarsstaf vroeër 'n teken van gesag was. Corylus is afgelei van die Griekse korys wat helm beteken, 'n beskrywing van die vrughuls.

Kultivars

  • Corylus avellana - Haselaar
    • Corylus avellana 'Contorta' (Kronkelhaselaar, Krulhaselaar)
    • Corylus avellana 'Pendula' (Treurhaselaar)

Gewilde kultivars

Die volgende kultivars word as 'n reël in wes-Europa aangeplant:

  • Camponica
  • Gunslebert
  • Gustav's Zeller
  • Lang Tidlig Zeller
  • Morell
  • Negret
  • Pauetet
  • Tonda di Giffoni

Siektes

Die haselneutknopmyt veroorsaak dat die knoppe baie dik opswel en afsterf. Die boom word ook beskadig deur die haselneutboorder. Hierdie kewer lê eiertjies in die jong haselneute waar die larwes die vrugvlees opvreet. Die blaarsnuitkewer vreet die blaar en rol dit op.
