OP melcon6 Member Joined: Sep 2002 Coastal Maine	Still trying to do the research on exactly how tall this thing will get, conflicting info right now, which is why I would love to see a pic of Bill's tree. To see if it's the same kind and to see how tall it is!

OP melcon6 Member Joined: Sep 2002 Coastal Maine	That's Awesome, springy! I've got very little and very conflicting info on these trees, I don't believe mine to be the "Harry Lauder" walking stick tree. That variety is grafted onto a straight corylus rootstock but I don't believe I have a grafted one. I believe I have Corylus avellana 'Contorta' and it could be 20' tall, or 6' tall. The kids got it at HD so of course the tag has very little information on it. For the height and width it just has ?????. Bill, is this the tree you have that Triss mentioned before?? Do you have a picture of yours? I would love to see it.
