Hazlenuts are a natural for forming a hedge row. Ask Mother Nature.

Does anyone know if there's a good way to discourage a hazelnut tree
from constantly sending up shoots all around the base of its trunk?

I keep cutting them off, and new ones keep springing up. It makes it
difficult to trim around the tree with the ever-expanding ring of shoot
stubs.
