How tall do hazelnut trees grow?
If planted in rows where equipment can be used, allow enough room to mow or cultivate for weed control. According to the 'Illinois Windbreak Manual', the matured height of hazelnut is usually three to eight feet, but may reach 15 feet and a spread of five to ten feet.

Ever onward with my fake forest floor garden. I've been trying to think of the right thing to plant in a barren space in the yard which will also block the neighbor's view. 

The squirrel planted this little hazel right next to my house. Way too close. Just moved it to the barren spot.

I love their velvet leaves.
