I planted 250 hybrid hazelnuts from seed bought from Grimo Nuts a few years back. One of them came out purple and is a thing of beauty. Wondering if this is common?

Yes I have a purple hazelnet tree in my backyard. i bought it on purpose, they are usually dwarfing too. One of them is contorted too.

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect

thank you! Since you knew it was purple, it was most likely propagated through layering (or other technic) so a clone from a knowed purple leafed variety. Unless you bought this as a purple seedling?

I'm wondering if purple leafed hybrid hazelnuts are common when sprouting from seed?

Don't count your weasels before they've popped. And now for a mulberry bush related tiny ad:
