About AMERICAN HAZELNUT SHRUB

The American Hazelnut Shrub (Corylus americana) is a deciduous shrub native to eastern North America, often found in woodlands and along forest edges. It produces edible nuts that are popular with wildlife and humans. In relation to pets, the American Hazelnut itself (nuts, leaves, and bark) is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, the ingestion of large quantities might still cause gastrointestinal upset in pets, so it's best to monitor and limit their consumption.
