Walking Sticks are in the Filbert or Hazelnut family, although this particular variety is ornamental.

Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick (avellana ‘Contorta’)

• 10-12’ tall x 10-12’ wide
• Distinctive, twisted, curled growth that is particularly showy in winter
• Long, pendulous catkins in early spring
• An excellent choice for a novelty specimen plant
• Easy to grow, prune root suckers regularly to maintain contorted stem form

Red Majestic Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick (avellana ‘Red Majestic’)

• 10-12’ tall x 10-12’ wide
• Same as the original Walking Stick but with deep red foliage
• Plant in full sun for the best color and allow plenty of room to grow
