Corlus colurna, or Turkish hazel, a resilient non-native species from Europe and Asia, thrives in various pH levels and tolerates heat, cold, and drought once established. It faces few pests or diseases, though eastern filbert blight can be a concern. This tree may sucker at the base, requiring regular management. It is ideal for challenging sites, including those with alkaline soil and drought conditions, but has a poor transplant survival rate and is best planted using balled and burlapped or container methods. While it can be moderately messy with fallen nuts, leaves, and catkins, it is well-suited for urban and naturalized landscapes.
