Hazelnut Tree: Grown from OSU Select Variety Trees- Bare-Root, 1-Y.O. PREORDER

SHIPPING WILL BEGIN MID OCTOBER/EARLY NOVEMBER (as I have to wait for these trees to go into winter dormancy before shipping bare-root.) Cannot legally ship to CA, OR, WA, AK, or HI.

Hazelnut, Filbert, or Corylus: These are seedlings grown from some wonderfully high-quality seeds. Collected from both McDonald and Jefferson hazelnut trees (part of an Oregon State University breeding project) these seedlings can be sure to exhibit many of their parent's wonderful traits: Disease resistance, and large, tasty nuts. Hazelnuts are some of the most nutrient-dense wild foods. They are delicious and nutritious, but the squirrels know that too! So you'll have to be sure to harvest early before the wild animals get to them all. 

When you purchase the plant, it will be bare-root (no soil around the roots.) The tree has gone into dormancy for the winter at this point, so it can be dug up and transplanted with almost no stress to the tree. You just have to make sure the roots stay moist. You'll receive the tree with moist newspaper wrapped around the roots (as pictured above.) It could stay like this for weeks (as long as the roots are kept moist) but I strongly suggest planting in the ground soon after purchase. 

Size/Spacing:

These will grow to be about 10-12' tall and wide. They can be pruned back if needed. Space them about 10' apart for growing in easily harvested rows. OR space them close together (2-3') to create a beautiful and edible hedge. 

Site Preference:

These are quite hardy plants. They'll produce best in full-sun, but can take some shade. And they tolerate a range of soil conditions. Loose well-drained soil full of organic matter is ideal, but they can handle dryer and rockier hillsides. 

Hardiness:

Up to Zone 4.

Special Note:

You will want to plant at least two trees near(ish) to one another to ensure pollination. If you don't have room for two, ask a neighbor!

Sorry, but we can't ship to CA, OR, WA, AK, or HI.
