The Spanish sources use hazelnuts a fair amount, but I've seen no
mention of the leaves. Herrera goes into a lot of detail about how
to plant and tend hazelnut trees, and cites another authority that
the branches are good for cask-making. Nothing on leaves,
though. (He does comment that toasted ground hazelnuts, drunk
with mead, are good for a persistent cough).
