Corylus maxima Mill. - Betulaceae - (giant) filbert, Lambersthasel, Lambertnuß
The latin name is not accepted as C.maxima is seen as a form of Corylus avellana.
Deciduous shrub or tree, up to 10m tall, native to southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia; leaves round to ovate (a purple-leaved form is grown as ornamental); flowers in catkins produced in late winter, the male pale yellow, female bright red; nuts 1.5–2.5cm long, fully enclosed in a 3–5 cm long husk.
C. maxima is more sensitive to cold than C.avellana. Their main growing area is located in the Turkish Black Sea region, where three-quarters of the world's produced commercially available „hazelnuts“ are produced. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambertshasel
Giant filberts are bigger and taste slightly sweeter than the fruits of C.avellana.
