Description

With its twisted, corkscrew branches and stems, Contorted Filbert, also known as Henry or Harry Lauder Walking Stick, is guaranteed to draw attention in the garden. The branches of this large shrub or small tree to 8 to 10 feet tall and wide are especially attractive in the landscape during winter, when there are no leaves on the plant. Before new leaves emerge in spring interesting and colorful yellow catkins hang in clusters from the tips of stems. The obovate leaves feature double toothed margins and are green for most of the growing season turning yellow in the fall. Branches can be cut for use as an accent in indoor floral arrangements. Contorted Filbert is a must have for the gardener that enjoys unique and interesting plants!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and wide, and maybe a little larger over time, the Henry Lauder Walking Stick Contorted Filbert is perfect for use as a focal point specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings. It can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form an attractive small tree. It can also be grown in pots, planters and other containers and situated on a patio, deck or around other outdoor living spaces. A fine addition to an Asian gardens, gothic gardens, and rock gardens.

Growing Preferences

Contorted Filbert prefers a moist but well drained slightly acid to slightly alkaline soil and full sun to part shade. When planting in heavy clay soil it’s a good idea to amend the native soil at a 50/50 ration with a sandy, bagged top soil to ensure good drainage. We suggest a minimum of 4 hours direct sunlight per day during spring, summer and fall.

Very pleased with the size of my little bush. The branches are nicely twisted just as I remember from the one my mom had years ago. The box took a hard knock somewhere in transit and had a big dent in it, but the plant was packed well and was perfectly fine. Looking forward to seeing this one grow over the years.———————————————–Hi Deborah, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Harry Lauder Walking Stick. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! So glad the dent in the box did not affect the plant!! 🙂

My husband grew up with a Contorted tree in his front yard and has always wanted one for our home. When I searched online I found not many gardens grew this variety and I was apprehensive when I ordered one from Wilson Brothers Gardens. I am now a believer!
