Avlers

Avlers are a type of fruit tree that produce edible fruits, typically berries or drupes. They are known for their attractive foliage and are often cultivated for their ornamental value as well as their fruit. The term "avler" is derived from the Latin word "avellana," which means "hazel," reflecting the hazelnut-like appearance of some avler fruits.

Avlers are native to various regions around the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. Some well-known examples include the European hazel (Corylus avellana), the American hazel (Corylus americana), and the filbert (Corylus cornuta). These trees are typically deciduous, with simple leaves that are often lobed or toothed. Their flowers are small and inconspicuous, usually appearing in the spring before the leaves emerge.

The fruits of avlers vary in size and shape, but they are generally small and round, with a hard shell that encloses a single seed. The fruits are often edible, with a sweet or nutty flavor, and are used in cooking and baking. Some avler fruits, such as the filbert, are also valued for their oil, which is used in cosmetics and as a cooking oil.

Avlers are often grown for their ornamental value, with some species known for their attractive fall foliage. They are also valued for their ability to provide food and habitat for wildlife. In some regions, avlers are also used for their wood, which is strong and durable. Overall, avlers are a versatile and valuable group of fruit trees that have been cultivated for centuries for their fruit, ornamental value, and other uses.
