The genus is usually placed in the birch family Betulaceae, though some botanists split the hazels (with the hornbeams and allied genera) into a separate family Corylaceae.The fruit of the hazel is the hazelnut.everal hybrids exist, and can occur between species in different sections of the genus, e.g. Corylus Ã colurnoides (C. avellana Ã C. colurna).
