Default contorted hazel

I have posted a picture of My corkscrew Hazel on
alt.binary.pictures.gardens.

All the plants I have seen in the past few years are Dutch in origin and are
grafted with a graft on one side of the stem.
I haven't seen one that I would call a good plant and nothing I would pay
even £1.00 for.
My bush was bought about 25 yrs ago as a 4 to 5 yr old plant and cost me
just short of £10.00 and that was trade price, but as I have said before it
has Never thrown one straight shoot.

Moral, you get what you pay for, though it seems now as if there is no
choice.
