Corylus plant named ‘Dorris’

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Corylus plant named ‘Dorris’ characterized by a spreading plant habit and low vigor, yellowish-green developing and fully expanded leaves during the spring and summer, resistance to eastern filbert blight caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Müller, presence of random amplified polymorphic DNA markers 152-800 and 268-580, expression of incompatibility alleles S 1 and S 12 in the styles, and DNA fingerprints at 14 of 24 microsatellite marker loci differ from both parents OSU 309.074 and ‘Delta’, and from one parent at an additional 9 marker loci.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of  Corylus  plant named ‘Dorris’, as illustrated and described.
