      Hazel – catkins turn brown

      Why do the young catkins start to turn brown and eventually die/ fail to mature in mid to late winter on my corkscrew hazel? There is no obvious presence of a pest and no products have been applied to the soil which is well drained, light and sandy with a neutral ph. The tree is growing in the south of England where the climate is temperate/sub tropical with probably only about 10 days in the winter when the temperature goes below freezing. Soil can get very dry in the summer but the tree does not appear distressed when in leaf in summer.

      Hello, your hazelnut does not show the symptoms of a disease, the different shades that catkins may have to represent a specific characteristic of hazelnuts. However, given the environmental conditions mentioned and the fact that in the next period the plant will open, it would be advisable to administer a granular fertilizer such as AMN Natural Activ-Bio, 1.5 kg, which improves soil quality and stimulates the absorption of nutrients in the plant, by the content of mycorrhizal fungi. It is applied by incorporation into the soil, on the entire surface on which the roots extend, in a dose of 50-150 g / m².
      Later, during the vegetation period, in order to maintain the healthy growth of the hazelnut, you can administer a special fertilizer for trees and shrubs: Tree Shrubs, 1 litre It is applied regularly, at intervals of 6-8 weeks, during the vegetation period and can be administered to all species of ornamental trees and shrubs. It is recommended to dilute a fertilizer cap concentrated in 1 L of water. The obtained solution is dispersed on the entire surface on which the root is spread.
