My guess is fairly small. Hazels are natural shrubs, and seem to
respond well to pruning, so I would guess that you could keep it
down to 6-8' without trouble. You can do that to yew, holly and
beech, after all, all of which grow much bigger than hazel. 2-3'
might be possible, but seems a little small.


Oh I wouldn't mind 6 foot. That's fine, I had intended to see if there
was any way it could make a standard but I feel they throw too many
suckers for that. So a shrub at 6 foot might be good for a background
for some paler plants.
Thanks Nick.
