Hazelnuts are small. Almonds are about 25'...I think Hazelnuts are too. Hazelnut is probably a great choice. I have been toying with beaked hazelnut and decided that I would add that to my woodland tree planting and put the American in the garden. The beaked is gorgeous with its early spring long golden catkins.
