These hazelnuts came from Mark Shepherd’s nursery in Wisconsin where he grows controlled cross hybrid hazelnuts. From Mark’s website: “They bear early in age, more homogenized shrub size of 6-8' tall and wide, and a condensed ripening window of 1.5 weeks, all useful traits for mechanical harvesting. 80% of the Controlled cross seedlings have flowered within the first year from planting and they have born crops more consistently across the population than selected seedlings. They exist in areas of heavy Eastern Filbert Blight presence and show no signs of susceptibility.”
Wild Indigo Guild purchases these hazelnuts in bulk from Forest Agriculture Enterprises to make available at a low price for you. Get at least two to aid in pollination.
