Harry Lauder's Walking Stick (Corylus avellana 'Contorta') rarely fruits. In
addition, it is most often grafted on the species and suckers will not yield
the contorted plant desired. Dirr reports that cuttings are difficult and
that stooling is often used to induce shoot growth and rooting for
propagation. Tissue culture has also been successful.

Harry Lauder's Walking Stick, Corylus contorta, (hazlenut) is usually most
easily propagated by getting a sucker from an existing tree. Growing
seedlings only gives a small percentage of contorted types and the seed must
be very fresh, like right off the tree, and be planted immediately.
