Corylus cornuta
Looks great in under-story of large trees in groves of multi-trunk tree/shrubs in a fountain shape. Autumn leaves make a rich mulch. Nuts are tasty but few & other critters usually get them first. The wide translucent mint shaped leaves catch the light in dark shady forests making it seem bright. Grows compact when wind clipped in coastal scrub also.
Uncommon red fall color.
