THK HAZP:L (Corylus avellana). 



The Filbert and Cob are varieties of the Hazel. The nut of the 

 Filbert is hidden by the cupule — the leafy frill that envelopes and 

 projects beyond it. The cob nut is larger and rounder than the 

 Hazel, and has not the long " beard " of the Filbert. The Hazel 

 produces good withies for barrels, pea rods, walking sticks, staves for 

 hurdles, and all purposes tor which rods of a pliant and strong 

 quality are required.
