Trees of Canada

The Beautiful Hazelnut Tree ~ unfamiliar to many of us is highly valued for its fruit/nut.
A topic for research is the current use of imported hazelnuts in Ontario.  A member of The Haldimand Stewardship Council refers to the movement to plant hazelnut trees in Haldimand as a future supply for chocolate companies.
