The beaked hazelnut is named for its fruit, which is a nut enclosed in a husk with a tubular extension 2–4 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long that resembles a beak. Tiny filaments protrude from the husk and may stick into, and irritate, skin that contacts them.
Cracked hazelnut shell displaying the edible seed Hazelnut tree, Turkey. A hazelnut cob is roughly spherical to oval, about 15–25 millimetres (5 ⁄ 8 –1 inch) long and 10–15 mm (3 ⁄ 8 – 5 ⁄ 8 in) in diameter, with an outer fibrous husk surrounding a smooth shell, while a filbert is more elongated, being about twice as long as its diameter.
The fruits are nuts 1–2.5 cm (1 ⁄ 2 –1 in) long and 1–2 cm diameter, surrounded by an involucre (husk) which partly to fully encloses the nut.
