MEDICINAL:
Hazel's forked branches are used for divining, and the wood makes wonderful magickal wands. Hazel nuts hung in the house will bring luck, and can be carried to improve fertility. Eat the nuts to bring you wisdom when solving a problem.
GROWING:
Hazelnut trees do best when planted in a well-drained, fertile, slightly acid soil. They do best where the winter temps are above -10.
