🔍 When is it ripe?
Green husks turn brown and pull back from the nut; ripe nuts fall freely or shake loose. Gather before squirrels. Dry in a warm place for 1–2 weeks for best flavour. Catkins (male flowers) are edible in early spring.
Native Hazelnut (Corylus Americana). Along the right side of the trail that lies beyond the Horse Corral at the Loud Thunder Forest Preserve. It's on a short part of the trail of wood between two fields. Try to beat the squirrels to the nuts!
