I brought my Harry home today! The tag said it was grafted on a 3ft stem to grow into a tree form but it appears to be contorted all the way to the soil line. There were others at the nursery that definitely looked to be growing on a 3 ft straight trunk.

I found a second plastic tag on my plant that seems to descibe it better. It says:

"Corylus a 'Contorta' bush form. Very twisted branches and trunk. Started from a rooted liner. Suckers will be contorted!"

I am attaching a photo. Can anyone help identify which tag is correct?
