1. Filbertnoun

   A fine hazel nut with a thin shell.

   Etymology: This is derived by Franciscus Junius and Stephen Skinner from the long beards or husks, as corrupted from full beard, or full of beard. It probably had its name, like many other fruits, from some one that introduced or cultivated it; and is therefore corrupted from Filbert or Filibert, the name of him who brought it hither.

   In August comes fruit of all sorts; as plumbs, pears, apricots, barberries, filberts, muskmelons, monkshoods of all colours. Francis Bacon, Essay 47.

   Thou hast a brain, such as it is indeed!
   On what else should thy worm of fancy feed?
   Yet in a filbert I have often known
   Maggots survive, when all the kernel’s gone. Dorset.

   There is also another kind, called the filbert of Constantinople; the leaves and fruit of which are bigger than either of the former: the best are those of a thin shell. John Mortimer.

1. Filbert

   Corylus maxima, the filbert, is a species of hazel native to southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, from the Balkans to Ordu in Turkey. It is a deciduous shrub 6–10 m tall, with stems up to 20 cm thick. The leaves are rounded, 5–12 cm long by 4–10 cm broad, with a coarsely double-serrated margin. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins produced in late winter; the male catkins are pale yellow, 5–10 cm long, while the female catkins are bright red and only 1–3 mm long. The fruit is a nut produced in clusters of 1–5 together; each nut is 1.5–2.5 cm long, fully enclosed in a 3–5 cm long, tubular involucre. The filbert is similar to the related common hazel, C. avellana, differing in having the nut more fully enclosed by the tubular involucre. This feature is shared by the beaked hazel C. cornuta of North America, and the Asian beaked hazel C. sieboldiana of eastern Asia.
