Corylus 'Red Majestic' is a beautiful small tree which is known for its unique twisted shoots. The contorted branches hold purple-red foliage in spring which then turns purple-green in summer. The distinctive corkscrew shoots make this an ideal garden focal point and the size allows it to be planted in a small garden - as well as a larger one. To ensure that you get the best purple leaf colour, plant this tree in a full sun position.
