Turkish hazel
📍 617 State St, Orem, UT 84058, USA
🗓 Season: September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Similar to common hazel; husks form a distinctive fringed cluster. Ripe when husks brown and nuts fall. Good flavour.
The fruit is a nut sometimes called "Turkish nuts" about 1–2 cm long, surrounded by a thick, softly spiny and bristly involucre (husk) 3 cm diameter,[2] which encloses all but the tip of the nut; the nuts are borne in tight clusters of 3-8 together, with the involucres fused at the base. The fruit matures in September and is edible, with a taste that is very similar to common hazels.
