You dont need hazel to make pegs, most woods will do.

hazel is a prefered timber because its straight grained and easy to work with.

 

Ash is another fairly straight grained timber which will split easy and remain strong. Beech, oak, holly, eucalyptus will all do, etc etc

Agree moxy, although I only really use ash, much preferred to these plastic and metal jobs, my friend uses blackthorn and has some cracking pegs..

The plastic ones have me converted Ian,, they grip like a bugger,, and you cant miss them in the ground either,, don`t rot, hard to snap,, and cheap as chips.. sometimes tradition takes a back seat to performance, not all the time though,

i must admit i tried 20 plastic tent pegs last year and realy liked them. over the years i have had evry type of wooden peg,, they all work., mate of mine uses those metal one's that are like angle iron shaped,,, they were good also

The yellow pegs look good, but as I said I prefer a shorter peg, as I like to carry a few nets in my pocket, as well as my peg bag, even when using a shorter peg, they hold, and even if they didn't, al you need is a good Dug,

but those plastic pegs look the biz and i suppose easy to shorten
