| − | '''''Corylus cornuta''''', the '''beaked hazelnut''', is a [[deciduous]] shrubby [[hazel]] found in most of North America, from southern Canada south to Georgia and California. It grows in dry woodlands and forest edges and can reach {{convert|4|-|8|m|ft}} tall with stems {{cvt|10|-|25|cm|in|frac=4}} thick with smooth gray bark.<ref name="ACRRE">{{cite web|title=Corylus cornuta|url=https://acrre.ualberta.ca/Portals/14/ACRREDocuments/Corylus_cornuta.pdf|website=Alberta Centre for Reclamation and Restoration Ecology|publisher=University of Alberta|accessdate=22 November 2017}}</ref> The leaves are rounded oval, coarsely double-toothed, {{cvt|5|-|11|cm|in|frac=4}} long and {{cvt|3|-|8|cm|in|frac=4}} broad, with hairy undersides. The flowers are [[catkin]]s that form in the fall and pollinate in the following spring.

| − | ''Corylus cornuta'' is named from its fruit, which is a [[nut (fruit)|nut]] enclosed in a husk with a tubular extension {{cvt|2|-|4|cm|in|frac=4}} long that resembles a beak. Tiny filaments protrude from the husk and may stick into, and irritate, skin that contacts them. The spherical nuts, which are surrounded by a hard shell, are edible though small. The beaked hazel is the hardiest of all hazel species, at its northern limits surviving temperatures of {{cvt|-50|C|F}}.<ref name="ACRRE" />

| − | The seeds are dispersed by [[jay]]s and rodents such as [[American red squirrel|red squirrel]]s and [[least chipmunk]]s.<ref name="feis" /> Although ''C. cornuta'' is somewhat shade tolerant, it is more common in forests with fairly open canopies than denser ones.<ref name="feis" /> However, it is intolerant of entirely open areas that get hot and dry.<ref name="ACRRE" /> Fire kills the above-ground portion of the shrub, but it resprouts fairly readily after fire, and in fact [[Native Americans in the United States|American Indians]] in [[California]] and [[Oregon]] used fire to encourage hazelnut growth, as they used hazelnuts for food, baskets, medicine, and other purposes.<ref name="feis" />
