Corylus sieboldiana, a deciduous shrub that generally grows to 2-3m in height, is found in mountainous regions with light gray-brown, smooth bark. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, 5-11cm long and 3-7cm wide, in the shape of a broad-obovate, with tips abruptly becoming narrow to points, bases circular, and margins irregularly double-serrated. Flowers are monoecious; they bloom in March and May, before the leaves develop. Male inflorescences emerging below branch tips measure 3-15cm long, in which male flowers singly appear in bracts with eight stamens. Female flowers are set at the branch tips and bloom within bud scales wrapped in; only the dark red styles (the portions between the ovaries and stigmas) protrude from them. Bloom time: March-May.
